Who we are
Janell Services is a certified, woman-owned small business proudly rooted in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We specialize in modern, technology-driven solutions designed to simplify essential services for individuals and businesses alike.
Founded by Janell Smith — a Notary Public, Remote Online Notary (RON), and Certified Loan Signing Agent — our mission is to make notarization and administrative services simple, secure, and accessible. With a strong foundation in business operations and a passion for helping others, Janell created this company to offer high-quality service with a personal touch.

We’re not just a service provider — we’re your trusted partner in compliance, documentation, and operational support.
Support That Works As Hard As You Do
Our Story:
We created Janell Services because we saw a critical need; small businesses, churches, and nonprofits often get left behind when it comes to administrative and notary support. We wanted to offer something better: services that are reliable, accessible, and affordable.
We believe no one should be overwhelmed by paperwork or miss important deadlines because they couldn’t find a notary in time.
Why We Do It:
We’re motivated every day by one thing: knowing we were chosen to get the job done. We value integrity, professionalism, and bringing peace of mind to every appointment.
This business was also born from frustration. Traditional marketing didn’t work; cold calls and ads weren’t connecting with the people we wanted to help. So we let our service speak for itself. And it’s working.
Meet the Founder:
“I started Janell Services because I saw firsthand how underserved many organizations and individuals are.
My mission is to bring professionalism and personal attention to every task; whether I’m notarizing a document or setting up office systems for a nonprofit.”
— Janell, Founder
