Service Descriptions

FastFilings.com is a document preparation and filing service for certain government documents or filings. We use the information you provide to prepare and/or file documents on your behalf. 

    Seller permit/wholesale license/business registration filing services:

Please note that each state uses different terminology for this registration. For example, in California this is called a “seller’s permit”, in Texas it is called a “sales and use tax permit” and in New York it is called a “certificate of authority”. Some common other terms for this item are: wholesale license, resale license, sales and use tax registration, sales license, seller’s license, resellers permit, certificate of authority, seller’s permit (and the list could go on). We will refer to this item in this section as “license/permit” and as “seller permit/wholesale license/business registration/sales license/wholesale permit”. 

Our service is the act of filing for and setting up the the seller permit/wholesale license/business registration/sales license/wholesale permit with the appropriate state dept. of revenue/tax/finance.

We guarantee license/permit issuance/approval should none of the scenarios listed below exist. Non delivery or state rejection is rare, and will essentially always be due to one of the following: 

  • Customer provided incorrect, inaccurate, or missing info on the order.
  • Customer does not respond to Fast Filings’ requests for updated, corrected, clarified, or additional info.
  • Customer does not respond to Fast Filings’ request for business documents (such as Articles of Organization, CP 575, SS4, etc.)
  • Customer does not grant Fast Filings account access when asked/requested.
  • Customer/business entity has outstanding tax liability, liens, judgements, criminal proceedings, or other similar matters causing state rejection.
  • Customer/business entity has an existing license/permit.
  • Customer/business entity has another conflicting tax account (such as consumer use tax).
  • Customer/business entity is in bad standing with one or more state agencies.
Because these issues are not in our control and are instead within the customer’s purview of responsibility, we cannot offer refunds in the event of non-delivery/rejection for any of the reasons listed above. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure these issues doe not exist when using our services. However, if one of these issues comes up, we are happy to provide guidance and direction as best we can, and we can usually help resolve the matter.
 

Often times, Fast Filings may need to ask for additional information, clarification, account access or other info from a customer to complete a filing. We request such info via email, so it is important to keep an eye out for emails from our processor. Our goal is to get your permit set up as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

In the event that an entity does not exist, we may default to file as a sole proprietorship.

It’s important to note that the most common reasons for a seller permit/wholesale license/business registration/sales license/wholesale permit to not be issued are: a) one already exists or has been filed for the entity or b) the entity or person has outstanding tax liability. Again, in the event that the state cannot issue the seller permit/wholesale license/business registration/sales license/wholesale permit, this DOES NOT entitle a refund because our service is strictly the service of filing the request, but cannot guarantee issuance of the actual permit or delivery. Although, this situation is fairly rare.

    CA business tax registration filing services (often referred to as a city business license):

Our city business registration service is the service of filing for and setting up a city business tax registration for a client. Please be aware that each city uses different terminology for this type of registration. For example, Los Angeles calls it a “business tax registration” and San Francisco calls it a “business license”.

     DBA Assistance Services:

 Our DBA / FBN assistance service has a few parts:

1) Perform your name availability research through the county to confirm the DBA name is available.
2) Perform your pre-filing through the county (where applicable, such as LA County)
3) Fully prepare your filing documents and tailored next steps instructions for completing the DBA registration.
4) Prepare prepaid mailing materials for you to submit the required items.

5) Deliver these to you by mail.

In placing an order with us, you have to check a box agreeing to understanding that DBA services are non-refundable, and that you understand the service description. DBA service packages mail out via regular US mail. We do this to keep or prices low. Keep in mind we DO NOT guarantee that filings will be accepted (ie they can be rejected), or that the county will not request additional items. There are many, many, reasons beyond our control such that a county office will request additional items or changes to approve the DBA filing. While this is rare, it does happen.

     CA Statement of Information Filing Service:

Our CA Statement of Information filing service is one where we will file a Statement of Information for the customer with the CA Secretary of State. This filing will be viewable in the CA Secretary of State online system usually a few days after we file.
