I have completed several signings for this company, and they pay with in 60 days which is more frustrating to say the least. (any other company pays Net 30 or less) As of today, I’m still looking for 2 payments due for Jan 2025 and Feb 2025. I’ve sent many invoices with no, again No response to date.
I have accepted many offers and then to receive another email/text offering more money for the signing, but they will offer it up and only accept their star notaries that pay the add’l money to be on their list only
@jaeven13 Sorry to read about your direct experience of Non-Payment with this business entity.
Over the past few years when they launched their “training” alongside their Signing Service [SS] they’ve extended many Signing Order [SO] offers . . .
Unfortunately, their Fees are unreasonably low for the Professional Services requested & Time/Travel requirements within their SOs.
Therefore, no direct experience with this business entity.
.
There are several interesting threads on this business entity within the Treasure Trove found in the Notary Cafe database.
How can you access that data & see how others achieved success with receiving payment for their Professional Services successfully provided?
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 that has been generously contributed by your sagacious fellow business owners over the years . . .
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
I’ve performed a cursory Search on your behalf and the results show **23+ separate** threads (including yours) about this particular business entity. There is a plethora of data immediately available on the threads within Notary Cafe.

SPECIAL NOTE: Accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .

@jaeven13 Some additional information that you may find helpful for future use . . .

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE TIMEFRAME TO RECEIVE REMUNERATION?
Truly, there is no easy answer to this query.
===>>> Below are a few of the myriad items you’ll need to verify with your potential new client when discussing/negotiating the terms of your professional services.
.
In general, the Title/Escrow Companies [T/ECs] are paid on the date of the closing and most Signing Services [SSs] are usually paid within a few days.
-
DO keep an abbreviated payment turnaround interval.
-
A reasonable payment timeframe with a Title/Escrow Company [T/EC], Attorney, etc. is 5 to 7 calendar days.
-
For most Signing Services [SSs], 7 to 21 calendar days.
NOTE: Some SSs issue checks/Automated Clearing House [ACH] payments on the 1st & the 15th of each month. As such, their payment interval may be a bit longer than noted above.
.
===>>> Anything longer than the intervals noted above is considered an EXTENDED interval for payment.
If you decide to accept longer intervals, in essence, as a business owner you’d be extending credit/giving a non-interest-bearing loan. Certainly, NOT the best use of your funds/return on investment [ROI].
.
Many of us have a PAYMENT POLICY & identify those requirements when accepting Signing Orders [SOs] from a new client. That is normally one of the non-negotiables during the SO Acceptance discussion. Here is an example of a payment policy:
“Fee is due and payable for services rendered at the time service is provided - regardless of/not contingent upon borrower(s) signing, the loan funding status, or the purchase/sale/refinance finalization status.”
The PAYMENT POLICY STATEMENT is also included on each invoice for every client.
REMEMBER that your out-of-pocket expenses are promptly due (whether cash payment or credit card) immediately or within 21-25 calendar days (per credit card statement). Ergo, you owe it to yourself to ensure that your CASH FLOW is available within that timeframe.
.
Always remember to make an important distinction when asking about payment turnaround time during the negotiation interval:
.
- “Is that 21 Calendar days? Or, 21 Business days?”
When doing the math, it reveals there is a much longer turnaround time for payment with the Business days counting ‘method’ . . .
======
During this time of minimal SOs, it’s even more challenging to remain financially solvent. This is the precise reason I often strongly recommend the following:
- Always research potential new clients prior to providing your Professional signing services
- Always query about the payment interval & ensure it’s included on your SO
- Be certain to clarify if the payment interval is CALENDAR days or BUSINESS days (there’s a BIG difference between the two)
- Hedge your bet against the vagaries of this business sector by DIVERSIFYING your services and/or client base
- Read the EXCELLENT reference text I’ve recommended on multiple occasions over the years for learning other techniques to provide Professional services (outside of the Loan Signing sector):
FYI: I receive no compensation or remuneration of any type or kind as a result of my first-hand experiential review above nor from any sales of the text.
.
The owner makes a ton of videos about how to create your own signing service.
I never saw the one about slow pay being a sound business strategy. He’s on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Let me be completely honest here, in regards to Unlimited Ink, as I made the mistake of accepting 30 or so assignments from them, they are the worst SS that I have worked for thus far, I have been signing loans for 20 years. They treat everybody like an idiot, they send out 50 emails per assignment, they charge on the settlement statement 300 for services and pay the notary 1/3 of the fee, then to top it all off you have to wait 60-90 days to get paid.. Now this company touts themselves as a signing service for signing agents built by people in the industry, but what they are accomplishing is getting rich at the expense and on the backs of the hard working agents themselves. I have Blacklisted this company personally and will never work with them again!!!
Any one who thinks its OK to wait 60 to pay a self employed business is INSANE, and they are getting RICH off of your hard work…Sure they train, But that now means they have an over abundance of notaries in the area therefore dropping the market rate for everyone…DO NOT WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE. As a matter of fact not fiction.

The trainings are the only thing of value from them. IMO you can never have enough LSA training. However, getting assignments from them is a waste of time and your resources!!! I will not ever entertain closing a Reverse mortgage for 125 (that would take me 6 hours or more to print, review, drive, table, close, drive, scan backs, and in some cases drive to local title that is over another hour away 1 way.), purchase and refinance loan files for 75.00 they rarely offer 100.00 for anything and they DO NOT PAY FOR 60 DAYS!!! You dodged a bullet with this company in my opinion…I suggest go to a local title company and try to get their business directly, but they are all using these platforms due to an overabundance of inexperienced LSA, and ones that simply do not know what they are doing, making lots of mistakes bringing pets and kids to closings, not finishing the assignments, last minute cancels etc… All of these factors are driving the rates down on veteran LSAs…Good Luck out there…

I am a new LSA myself…Been doing signings since April 2025 and have a little over 50 under my belt. These mistakes sound insane. Bring pets and kids, not finishing? That’s just unprofessional and hopefully they will weed themselves out the industry RAPIDLY. I will take their training eventually, next year when its time to retrain, but I’m not spending any more money on training this year. I refuse. I’ve invested a lot to get my foot in the door and its paying off, so I am grateful for that.

Thank you for providing this information. I marked myself as available for a signing. After this summary, I now know not to waste my time.
