Service was as promised, account manager was extremely helpful and even when we had to adjust due to my tight travel schedule everything was solved quickly and professionally. If it can be improved then only on initial required information, documents and timeline info from beginning of the process. So make sure you double check and have all required info ready, especially regarding bank accounts and it will be fine. Thanks SFM

Maybe i am not a good referee, since it was first time I have opened offshore company with an account so i really do not have anybody to compare with. However I chose SFM since they have a wide amount of services in wide amount of locations, also they passed the background check for beeing established for a while and having a lot of offices worldwide.
They are great because they get things done, and they can do a lot of things
They are awesome because they are most trustworthy in the industry, which is priceless.
They are awful because you have to be patient (maybe it is an industry standard), but on a bad exchanges you can wait 3 days for their answer, or stuff that should take one week takes three, you need to chase them sometimes.
However you have to have a clear idea what you want and what you need, they are not advisors, and if you ask something that you will realize you need completely different thing it might takes months to amend
PS I am a happy client and I would use them again, just forget ASAP projects :)
