SmallBiZGuru (located at www.smallbizguru.com) is a subsidiary service where SmallBiZ Gurus (or experts) in many fields, including incorporations & LLC formations, offer opinions, which may not be that of SmallBiZ.  All information located at SmallGuru.com is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for proper legal or tax advice.   Most Gurus (Experts) on SmallBiZGuru.com are NOT associated with SmallBiZ in any way.  However, some of the staff of SmallBiZ are also listed Gurus and will answer questions from time to time.

 

Filing Fees

SmallBiZ.com's filing service includes the states fees for forming that entity.  SmallBiZ.com is not responsible in anyway for any fees that are due AFTER the filing of your articles.  Many states (i.e. NV & CA) have additional reports and statements due shortly after your filing date.  We recommend that you research the state in which you want to file BEFORE you place your order.  For additional information about your state and our service, please check out our Incorporator Research Center.

 

Price Changes

Because of period changes in state filing fees, SmallBiZ's prices are subject to change. SmallBiZ will make every attempt to reflect changes before they take place. However, if a state's filing fee has increased before an order is submitted and before it is reflected on our website, customer has the option to pay the increase in state fees or receive a complete refund. If SmallBiZ changes the price (when not related to a state's filing fee increase) or the inclusion or exclusion of products or services in one of SmallBiZ's packages, customer has option of receiving package as quoted (previous to change(s)) or based on order submitted (after change(s)).

  

Returned Checks

A $25 fee, in addition to bank service fees, will be charged for all checks returned to SmallBiZ due to non-sufficient funds or closed accounts.

 

Late Mailings & Late filings

SmallBiZ accepts no liability for USPS, Airborne, or any other carrier?s negligence in either loss, delay of delivery or destruction of any filing documents which may result in the delay of filing of a corporation or LLC or other entity.  We do our utmost to try to make sure your papers arrive in a timely manner, as ordered, and without damage.

 

SmallBiZ is not responsible for any delays caused by the state-filing agency handling your formation.

Date of filing

Unless you specify an alternative filing date, in writing (on the order or by email), your date of filing shall be what ever is specified by the state agency that handles entity formations.  If you are NOT absolutely sure that you have specified an alternative filing date, it is your responsibility to notify us, in writing, of this or any other change not shown on your order.  Specifying a date that your business may begin (such as on EIN orders) does not constitute a request for a specific filing date.

 

Completed Orders

Orders are considered completed by SmallBiZ when a filing has been completed (if ordered) and all materials have been sent/made available(online) to a customer and customer's Online Order Tracking (see "Incorporator Orders" in Member Options folder near the top left hand side of each web page) has been marked as "completed".   If SmallBiZ has not been notified by customer within 60 days AFTER that date of completion of any missing materials or defects, SmallBiZ does not assume any further responsibility.
