I am very happy with the way SFM operates. I came to them in order to have a new company incorporated. They have advised me about the best options available and were able to set up the company within a couple of days. I also paid for a bank account with that company and they were very helpful in that regard as well. They set up the meetings with the bank and I was able to go there in person and sort everything out much faster than normal. All in all, I would recommend SFM if you want to have a new company incorporated.
