Website Compliments

Thank you – very impressive, fast service!Much easier than cutting a check and mailing report.Thanks for the great website. It really helps getting corporate documents.While filing my company's Annual Report I found the site very user friendly! Thank you for making my job a little easier.What a great site! I love the new File On Line feature!The new online system is GREAT! Like it a lot.I just completed the South Dakota (online) Foreign Corporation Annual Report and it was a fantastic experience! I am over licensing for many different entities and have been on the Secretary of State website for nearly every state. This was by far my best experience! I had to pause my busy day and say THANK YOU! It is so nice when something that should be simple actually is….brilliant!I just filed our annual report online for our Panther Graphics LLC location in Sioux Falls, and it worked great!I just wanted to say a huge “thank you” for the response you have given to me. I signed on to the email today not expecting to see anything from the state of SD. I just mailed the info on Monday, and thought for sure it would be a couple of days, but extremely pleased that I had responses before noon today. You really delivered and surpassed my expectations.
