    I would like to thank your company personnel for their excellent support in registering and incorporating my LLP. Initially, I was very apprehensive about hiring someone from outside Mumbai and that too online, however, I am very much pleased to inform that my choice did not err.It was Compliance Manager Drashti who instilled confidence in your organization by providing timely and helpful advice regarding formation of LLP. She also ensured that I received all the information regarding LLP before I register for your services.After the registration and payment, it was Asst. Compliance Manager Abhishek who coordinated with me for DSC, DIN, LLP Name Approval, Incorporation Certificate and PAN / TAN. He was always there to attend my calls whenever I needed clarifications or doubts regarding the subject. It was his cool attitude and follow-ups that really impressed me.Last but not the least, I must also appreciate the efforts of Asst. Compliance Manager Parin for helping me in shortlisting the right activities of “n” number of activities, to be registered for SSI / MSME registration.I would once again like to commend Ebizfiling and their team of Drashti, Abhishek and Parin for their professionalism, superlative skills and for the job well done. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.Keep up the good work.
