Stos Partners is a privately held commercial real estate investment and management firm based in Southern California, managing over 1 million square feet of industrial and office properties across 12–15 U.S. states. Known for executing nearly 50 acquisitions in just five years, Stos scaled rapidly—but struggled to keep up with the entity management demands that came with complex joint ventures, multistate registrations, and frequent dissolutions. Without a dedicated compliance system in place, the firm faced mounting operational headaches, inconsistent service from legacy providers, and surprise invoices that disrupted deal flow and financial planning.
When Michael Mobley joined Stos Partners, the company was acquiring properties at a rapid clip. Each new deal brought more entities, more filings, and more compliance risks.
Initially managed in-house, compliance tasks became overwhelming and costly as the company expanded.
“We were getting hit with surprise bills from CT Corporation—$2,000 just to dissolve an entity, months after the deal had closed.”
— Michael Mobley, Former CFO
Legacy compliance service providers made things worse:
-
No upfront pricing
-
No visibility into filings
-
No dedicated point of contact
- Hours-long hold times
The Solution
Stos switched to Filejet for a tech-forward, fully supported entity management solution. The platform made it easy to handle:
- Formations and dissolutions
- Annual reports and state filings
- Registered agent services
- Multi-state tracking and alerts
“I was shocked how much of the work Filejet actually did. It wasn’t just software—it was a full-service solution.”
— Michael Mobley
The intuitive dashboard and automated workflows meant that junior staff—not just legal or finance execs—could manage filings without missing deadlines or overpaying for basic services.
