All your SEC filings must be made using EDGAR, the SEC's software. It's a complex process with no margin-or time-for error. American Financial Printers will file for you, EXPERTLY, ACCURATELY, ON TIME.

What are the filing requirements?

The Securities and Exchange Commission now requires publicly traded companies to file their disclosure documents electronically rather than on paper. This rule applies to all filings: quarterly, annual and special.

The electronic filings must precisely follow the format prescribed in the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval Software, or EDGAR.

EDGAR is highly complex, technical and, to most users, confusing. The EDGAR Filers Manual alone is more than 600 pages long. And errors can be costly, with stiff penalties imposed if filings are late.

American Financial Printers is in the business of producing financial and legal documents. Why struggle to master complex software that you will use only a few times a year, when AFP handles EDGAR filings every day? Our work is reliable and our fees are reasonable. In fact, by working with AFP your real costs are likely to be less than if you did the EDGAR filings yourself.

How can American Financial Printers help?

AFP's qualified staff can manage the entire EDGAR process for you efficiently and expertly. We will provide all the services of a filing agent for your company, from converting your documents to the EDGAR format and performing all the required software manipulations to submitting both a test filing and an actual "live" filing with the SEC.
