Costs that are not state fees
- Local Business Tax Receipt. Charged by your county and sometimes your city. The amount depends on the location and the type of business.
- Professional licenses. Only for regulated work, from the DBPR.
- Registered agent service. Optional if you can act as your own agent. Commercial services usually charge an annual fee. Ours is included for the first year in Complete and Launch (Essential can add it for $49), then $129 a year.
- Help filing. Services like ours charge for preparing and filing documents. The state fee is always passed through at cost.
