Signature Filing, Inc. was launched in 2006, establishing itself as a leader in the online document filing sector over the years. It introduced now-standard features such as electronic signatures, real-time status updates, automation, and digital document management. The company operates on a "profit through low overhead" model, utilizing a proprietary software stack to streamline document filing fulfillment, making the business both automated and transparent. The business earns most of its revenue by offering online filing services through an easy questionnaire format and maintains impressive profit margins above 100%. Another revenue stream under consideration is a white-label fulfillment solution for competitors, using its established methodology and software.
For the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2014, the business recorded $258,448 in total revenue, with a net profit of $71,343. Traffic statistics from that period show 47,144 unique visitors and a bounce rate of 70.55%, with the majority of traffic originating from the United States. Pay-Per-Click marketing is a primary sales driver, alongside an affiliate program. The site operates with minimal SEO effort and maintains a low refund rate.
Operations require a full-time representative to manage orders and customer service, though it's predominantly automated. The business utilizes a custom PHP and MySQL platform, offering substantial growth potential through service enhancements, strategic partnerships, and possible franchising. The current owner, an original founder seeking to explore other software development interests, is offering support post-sale, with a willingness to sign a non-compete agreement focusing outside of filing services.
