Swyft Filings

We offer three formation packages with upfront pricing, no surprises at checkout. While our service fees are fixed, state filing fees vary by location and entity type and apply regardless of the service you use. If you’re unsure what’s included, our team is happy to walk you through your package before you pay.

Important Note: Before finalizing your order, double-check your cart for any added subscription services (such as Registered Agent or Compliance tools). These services involve recurring charges.

Processing speed depends on the package you choose. Our standard processing time is 7 to 10 business days. Express processing reduces that to 3 to 5 business days, and same-day processing submits your documents the same day you place your order (or the next business day if you file after 3 p.m. CT).

Note: Once documents reach your state, processing time is controlled by the state agency, not by us.

We guarantee that your formation documents will be filed correctly. If we make an error on our end, we will correct it or refund our service fees. Our obligation covers the accuracy of the work we prepare and submit. For full details on our refund policy, contact our team before placing your order so you understand exactly what is covered.

Yes. Every Swyft Filings customer is assigned a dedicated Business Specialist with a direct phone number and email address. You contact them directly; there is no call queue, no need to start over with a new agent, and no waiting in a general inbox. If something comes up during or after formation, you have someone specific to reach out to.

Registered agent service is available as an add-on. We provide registered agent coverage in all 50 states. Every state requires a business to have a registered agent to receive official legal and government notices on your behalf. When you start your order, we will show you clearly what is included and what is optional so you can decide what your business needs.

Swyft Filings, LegalZoom, and ZenBusiness all offer business formation services for LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, and other entity types. The difference comes down to the level of support and the overall experience. Swyft Filings provides a dedicated Business Specialist for personalized support throughout the filing process, along with a manual review of every filing before submission to help maintain accuracy. LegalZoom is known for its broader legal services and attorney-related offerings, while ZenBusiness emphasizes low-cost startup plans and software-driven business management tools. Swyft Filings is built for entrepreneurs who want a balance of speed, simplicity, personalized support, and ongoing business compliance help.

We support you well beyond formation. After your business is registered, we can help you obtain your EIN, set up or maintain your registered agent, file annual reports before state deadlines, and handle business license research and filing. We offer compliance reminder services to help you avoid missing your state deadlines. Many of our customers use us year after year, not just at launch.

Articles under this byline are written by the in-house editorial team and reviewed by formation specialists who file with state agencies daily. Named contributors appear on their own author pages, linked from each article.

No. Swyft Filings is a document filing service, not a law firm, and these articles are general information. Legal services connected to the attorney-led trademark process are provided by Swyft Legal, LLC.

Primary sources: Secretary of State filing rules, state statutes, and current IRS guidance, plus what our specialists see accepted and rejected across roughly 600,000 filings.

Every guide is reviewed at least once a year, and sooner when a state changes its fees, forms, or filing requirements. The updated date appears at the top of each article.

The Swyft Filings byline covers work produced collectively by the editorial and compliance teams. A named byline means one writer took primary responsibility, and their credentials sit on their author page.

Yes. Our guides cover business formation and compliance topics across all 50 states. Because requirements can vary by state, some guides provide state-by-state comparisons, while others link to dedicated state-specific resources for more detailed information. Always review the latest requirements with your state’s Secretary of State before filing.

Topics come from the questions customers ask specialists on the phone and the filings that get rejected most often, rather than keyword volume alone.

Short quotes with a link back are fine. For syndication or full reprints, email the editorial team first.
