Signature Filing Offers Online Filing Service to Customers in California and Throughout the U.S.

Do you want to start a business? File to become a corporation? Or legally change your name? Then you could use a service like Signature Filing to file the proper documents with the correct authorities.

While it is possible to deal directly with the County Clerk or the California Secretary of State, it can require some know-how that most newbies lack. Fictitious or Assumed Business Name statements (DBAs) are required for businesses operating in California, New York, and some other states. Bank accounts cannot be opened for a company unless they can provide proof of filing and publication of a DBA.

Using a company like Signature Filing can ease the process of filing such documents, for example by providing notary and DocuSign services where necessary. Knowledgeable representatives can answer questions that those who've never been through the process may have. The company can make a time-consuming process faster even for those who know the ins and outs of filing a Fictitious Business Name or Articles of Incorporation. The company also helps customers obtain Sellers Permits with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and Federal Employer Identification Numbers (FEIN) from the Internal Revenue Service.

Signature Filing has operations in Norwalk, Santa Monica, and Sacramento. Although most of its 20,000 customers per year are in California, the company has the ability to file documents in all 50 US states and Puerto Rico. The company formed in order to compete with Legal Zoom in 2008. Computer engineers Steven Hawkins and Hunter Collins devised the website that allows customers a one-stop portal where they can submit a single all-purpose document and pay one fee in order to obtain the desired result.
