Where do I find on here a list of signing companies and how they are rated? Thank you.
A list is not available here. You can āsearchā for info/posts about a particular co. NotaryRotary has a list
I saw that but was hoping one was available here.

ask Google for the ten best notary signing platforms.
The Top Ten Signing Agencies & Platforms for Notaries in 2024
I keep a list of signing services as offers arise and document the number of days until payment after assignments are completed as ratings are variable and I prefer numbers. I attached the two tables here in case you didnāt see my post from about a week ago in another topic area.

Thank you being so kind as to share this information. I see that several of these companies are on a ādeadbeatā list that I have. Are you currently receiving payments on all the jobs youāve done with the companies listed?
Do you have that list?
List building is undoubtedly one of the most important steps in conducting market research for our business plan. Here are a couple of books that provide helpful lists: 50K to Sign Your Name and Sign and Thrive. However, keep in mind that any published lists are likely to contain outdated information and will still require verification. Personally, I believe in the traditional approachābuilding my own lists. A search engine can be one of your most valuable tools in this process. Best of luck on your journey!
@cfletcher Absolutely Correct!

TO ALL NOTARY CAFE MEMBERS:
This is the method Iāve utilized for years within this business sector. It has served me well.
First, I do Search the Notary Cafe database and then expand the range outward from there . . .
Second, when analyzing the data found during the Search, do keep in mind that some apples go bad ===>>> the reputation several years previous was stellar, but the more recent threads/posts reflect a negative shift in the trend of their business practices.
As I often express: Caveat Venditor!
.
DONāT KNOW HOW TO SEARCH THE NOTARY CAFE DATABASE?
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database.
To be helpful, Iāve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.

Yes, all have paid me.
Where did you get a ādeadbeatā list? Itās best to draw from your own experience. There are great companies that pay at the END of the month following service. Sometimes 45 days - some notaries consider that slow pay. If they always pay thatās not a deadbeat. So not sure what companies you refer to. No list created by other people is 100% accurate. There is no shortcut that replaces personal experience. for example signingorder.com sends checks out twice a month. They have a couple of agencies who use that platform that pay very slow. That doesnāt make signingorder a bad platform. In 4 years there has been one contract I was never paid on. Some law firm out of Florida. As for slow pay - Notaroo takes as long as 90 days I donāt take their orders anymore. Prestige can take up to 3 or 4 months I rarely take their orders anymore. Donāt trust anyone elseās list 100%. Just saying.
Prestige since November!!
When I became a notary, I asked the same question(s) - where do I find a list of the signing services and which ones are the flakey ones? I quickly learned the hard way on the flakey ones. Iām happy to report that I;ve collected every dime on every order since I became a notary but it was hard work collecting on some. Persistence, my friends, persistence. As to the signing service list, youāll have to rely on your own digging, Iām afraid. Oh, there are some weak lists online and even this site will yield a few. My advice. . . Search the internet and use your own methods for ferreting out the companies you want to work with. I did and I found about 200 that regularly send me orders, some more than others, of course. I stay relatively busy with my cadre of signing services.

They donāt pay fair fees anymore.
I found a list on Etsy also.
Got paid finally but I had to tell them I was contacting Title and dept. of professional regulation to file a complaint in order to get any action. Ridiculous to have to wait 4 months to get paid.
Do you have the link? I canāt find it. Thank you.
