Company Background and History

Automated Filing Services Inc. was formed in February 1997 to take advantage of the business opportunity created by the mandatory implementation of electronic filing of corporate documents via SEDAR.

In response to customer demand, Automated Filing Services Inc. became a SEC registered EDGAR filing agent in 1999. This registration enabled Automated Filing Services Inc. to file documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of public companies.

The company is owned and operated by Bill Batiuk, Craig C. Smith, CA, and Andrew Danneffel, BBA. Having served as directors and officers of public companies several partners have extensive experience working for reporting issuers and are familiar with corporate reporting requirements.
