Congratulations on taking the first step in incorporating your business! If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering what happens now that you’ve submitted your application through Swyft Filings. 

Here’s what you can expect.

We Review Your Application and Prepare Your Documents

Our team of experts reviews your application and ensures there are no errors or missing information. If we find any issues, we’ll notify you by email. You’ll also see a rejection notification when you log into your account. If everything looks good, we’ll finalize all necessary paperwork and prepare to submit it to the state for approval.

We Submit it to the State

When we submit your application to the state, you’ll receive an email notification, and your account status will update to "FILED.” This means that the state is now processing your application.

We Charge You for Registered Agent Activation

After we submit your application, we’ll activate the services of the Registered Agent you selected during the application process. If you chose our own registered agent service, you’ll be charged $199 three days after your order.

We Wait for the State

The fact of the matter is this part of the process is dependent on your state’s speed and backlog. We’ll do everything we can to ensure they have what they need to approve your application, but we have no control over how long this takes.

We Notify You of Your State’s Response

Once the state has approved or rejected your application, we’ll notify you by email and update your Swyft Filings account status. If approved, your account status will update to “Completed,” otherwise, you’ll see your account marked as “Rejected.” 

We’ll notify you of any additional information we need from you if your application is rejected.

We Activate Any Additional Services

Once your application is approved, we’ll process any additional services you requested. Be sure to log into your account, as some services require you to complete specific questionnaires.

You Go Forth and Conquer

Congratulations! Your business is now approved and ready to go. Looking for more information to help your business succeed? Our Resource Center houses many articles, studies, and case studies to help you on your business journey. 

Thank you for choosing us to help you incorporate your business. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of business specialists if you have any questions throughout the process.
