Swyft Filings

Be your own registered agent! All they did was keep my documents. I paid them $1,000 one year to do nothing. I encourage you to use them to set up your LLC but don't keep them as your registered agent or to 'manage your LLC, they dont manage $#*!. I signed up at I believe $25/year in 2020. In 2021, they took 4 payments of $249 = $996. I have no notification in my email or on their site of this increase. I asked them in 2023 to remove themselves as my registered agent and they told me it was "impossible" and only I can remove them. I struggled to get in touch with the state so I failed the follow-up for about another year. In 2024, the same exact conversation took place. "impossible" for them to remove me, I have to do it. Finally, I got in touch with the state. They said Swift filings is lying to me. They had to fill out a specific form, it's actually impossible for me to remove them. She said they knew this, and it's illegal for them to tell me otherwise. I called Swift filings back and told them what the state had told me and quoted the form they were supposed to fill out. They said oops, they would go ahead and file that form and refund me the last two payments. Now, in 2025. They have me locked out of my account and are still receiving my documents as registered agent. They have put a charge on my account for the last two payments they refunded. She told me the only reason they refunded was to settle a dispute between me and one of their employees. Told me they won't unlock the account until I make this payment. Told them when I contacted the state, they told me she was blatantly lying to me and that it's illegal and I will file a complaint with the state if they don't remove the charge immediately. The state also told me, there's a $5 fee to file the form to remove themselves as registered agent and they are responsible to pay it. Now, they have applied that $5 to my account as well.

I paid Swyft $150 to file a DBA application for my LLC. I was told to expect my application to be completed by a date-certain, 7 days after submission. That date came and went. I contacted Swyft and was told the process could take 3 weeks or more, depending on the state. This was news to me since such a timeframe had never been mentioned before. Had I known it would take so long, I would never have paid them to do the application. I was misled by the company and asked for a refund. They are not interested.

Please consider the reviews before deciding to work with Swyft Filings. This was disappointing and extremely costly. Be sure to check and review your account. Otherwise, you will be charged for services you did not authorize. This is certainly not the way to start a new business venture.

Fellow customers who are looking for service providers for LLC registration services, stay away from this company.
They misuse your saved cards to deduct hidden subscription payments which you can only get to know from your bank alert when it's deducted.
Once you speak with their customer care regarding the concern,you get to know in 2 minutes they have baited you and it's too late. They don't refund.

CHEATS

Worse experience of my life. A lot of hidden fees they don't tell you about. They will charge your credit card with out authorization for things you are not aware of. They lie every time they open there. They barely speak English. Stay away from this company. They are about taking your money and they don't care how they do it.

Swift filings makes it nearly impossible to cancel your subscription. Their FAQ's clearly says you can "easily" cancel by email.
You cannot!
They will reply to you email stating that they will call.
You can also try to cancel by live chat, you cannot!
They will spend quite some time getting you to verify information and asking nonsensical questions, and then tell you someone will call you…

Auto enrolls you in unauthorized post service billing. States it is for "Compliance Guard" to ensure you are in compliance with state rules. The only rule to a company is ensuring you have an agent. I am my own agent as stated when filing. Compliance guard is a hidden, non advertised fee and they post bill you a year after they do a filing. BBB shows 170 complaints, and now thousands here. Next step will be either a class action lawsuit and or contacting the attorney general in the State of Texas where they are from. No, they DO NOT contact you back at all. How can one cancel a hidden service if no one responds to allow them to cancel even if there was a legit service, which there is not. Each state is required to maintain an agent of record for their company. "Compliance Guard" is something made up. There is no such service. Laws have been the same in each state since the beginning of time. I work in legal, and this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.

This company is a complete scam. I am surprised they can even still be in business. Shame on the podcaster who recommended this horrible company. Swyft Filings double billed my credit card multiple times and said it was a "system glitch" (once they finally admitted they did it-this took several contacts with them to even admit it). After they admitted it, they then refused to refund the mistake they made. I disputed the charges with my bank after getting no where with them. They told me today that I would be "blocked" if I disputed any further charges. They also said with certainty that my bank would do nothing about this. I informed my bank that they made this statement. My bank informed me they have not even gotten back to them regarding the dispute. Apparently this company is secure in their knowledge that they will get away with this fraud. I plan to take legal action if they do not provide a full refund. I don't care if the attorney costs more than the refund.

I created an account on Swyft filings website did a basic package which doesn't cost anything it's free. When you are ready to register your taxes, they do it all for you at which point the state cost would either come out of your tax or you'd owe Swyft filings that money for their work.

Here's the kicker they don't work they don't do anything. I ended up not using that LLC I never filed any money under that LLC I never paid Swyft filings anything. Year and a half later they claim I owe them $800 funny part is according to the state I live in the business LLC doesn't even exist so they didn't do a $#*!ing thing and trying to steal money.

They don't tell you the price until the end, they said we do all the work but then you have to go to the county and notary to fill it anyway. So all they do is send you the form and then send it to the government. Also stick you with a compliance guard of $150 that they snick in in small somewhere that now one sees.

They were lazy when opening my LLC and i had to pay the state amendment fees to fix it. 2/5 would not recommend. Use someone else. After all, rude on the phone, too much background noise. Overall bad experience.

The website says $49 filing fee to start a nonprofit. I had previously done all of the filing of necessary documents myself and successfully gotten a nonprofit started. But, I figured it would be helpful to get some assistance with the process this time. Within about a week they had charged almost $2000 to my debit card. I had to terminate my subscription with them because I was totally out of money. But they continued making huge charges to my account AND made the document rd I had already paid for so I can NOT access them.

CROOKS. THEY KEPT MY $. These guys continue to hold onto my money, I paid via PayPal. They make it a point to "call a customer" when they cancel an order instead of just understanding and immediately refunding like any real company would.

The cancellation was within 30 hours of my order and the order was still in the "review" process. After I asked them to cancel they placed the order on "Hold" and while they took their sweet time I have opened a dispute already. Just refund when you haven't provided anyone a service. I tried it their way by phone and they don't even call you back. It's crazy.

I wrote them saying, refund me or I'll have to dispute the charge. So even though I was FORCED into disputing the charge and they have a 100% money back guarantee(Google: swyft-filings-guarantee), they threatened to take me to Collections. These guys are the worst and most unprofessional people ever. I would never do this to one of my clients.

I decided to start my business with Swift filling because of a YouTube video. We were starting a Non for profit business. They were absolutely horrible. They didn't know what they were doing. They gave us the run around and although we requested a refund. It was never granted. My partner had to change accounts because they keep drawing money out of his account. There was a lot of confusion and it was really hard to reach anyone who could solve our problems. We lost almost $500. I can't recommend them because my experience was very poor. I would never recognize them. Be careful, espresso if your situation is unique.

They don't disclose anything about extra services that cost $300. I complained about the charge I never agreed to, a service no one even uses. Total scam place. I should have read reviews first.

I was charge a subscription fee called the hotline and they said there is nothing they can do. I advise other people to be aware use another company! They don't care about their client!

I placed a Premium order since 06/04/20. I still have not received anything yet. Granted there was a delay due to an address needed. When that was provided my file still had not been sent to the state. What pissed me off the most was that I had to call to find out out what is up with my file. Meanwhile, I have an insurance agent badgering me about what insurance plan/quote will I go with (provided by Swyft). I was guaranteed everything would be taken care of by 06/19/20. I would be all set. Well, needless to say, it's now 06/29/20, I'm the one calling AGAIN. I have no forms as of yet and No EIN. I can't wait to hear the BS EXCUSE now.
They were quick to take my payments though. Communication is perfect in that regard. Oh, It's not $49, get ready to spend at least $700 and up!
My order number #*******. Highly and greatly frustrated and upset, forget disappointed. Mislead totally.

I bought the hype and paid my money. Six days later they claimed my application had been rejected for not having enough Directors on my Board (I had two listed instead of three). That seems something that should have been detected at the outset.

Corrected the input within an hour. It has now been 10 days since that occurred and after multiple emails, and chat messages that they failed to respond to, I got THIS message today:

Hello!

I have contacted our processors to continue processing your filing. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Along the way, their web site crashed for days (they claim it was "maintenance", but really who does maintenance during the week for days?)

They have been unresponsive and amateurish at best.

Should have picked LegalZoom for this service.

UPDATE: As of this afternoon (3-19-19) their site has crashed yet again. This forces one to wonder if the site has been hacked by outside forces.
