I am very grateful for Jane’s assistance in registering „AntradienioWave Ltd“. She was responsive, helpful, and ensured the process was successfully completed. Overall, the service was smooth, and I am satisfied with the result.
However, there was some confusion regarding electronically signed documents. Initially, I was informed that such signatures were acceptable, but later I was required to provide hand-signed documents, which caused a slight delay. It would be beneficial if SFM communicated their policy on electronic signatures more clearly to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future.
Overall, I am pleased with the service and would recommend SFM for company registration, especially due to professionals like Jane.
