LLC formation: $99 plus state fees

Most e-commerce sellers start with an LLC for liability protection. ABS handles LLC formation for $99 plus your state's government filing fee. The first year of registered-agent support is included. State fees range from about $40 (Kentucky) to about $500 (Massachusetts). ABS confirms the exact amount before filing.

Sales-tax registration and filing

If you sell on Amazon, Shopify, or other platforms, you may need to collect and remit sales tax in states where you have nexus. ABS provides sales-tax registration and filing support. The scope depends on the number of states, filing frequency, and your platform's tax-collection settings. ABS confirms the written scope before work begins.

Bookkeeping from $69 per month

E-commerce businesses generate hundreds or thousands of transactions per month. ABS bookkeeping starts at $69 per month and covers transaction categorization and monthly reconciliation. This prepares your records for tax filing. The price depends on transaction volume and complexity.

Tax filing from $599

ABS tax filing with income starts at $599 after record review. A federal zero-activity return is $249. E-commerce sellers with inventory, marketplace sales, or multi-state operations typically need the income-based service. ABS reviews your records first and confirms the scope and price before filing.

Annual-report handling: $100 plus state fees

Once your LLC is formed, most states require an annual or biennial report. ABS handles this for $100 plus the state's government fee. Registered-agent clients get an email reminder before the due date. Missing the report can put your company out of good standing.

What ABS does not do

ABS does not provide legal advice, CPA audits, or inventory management. ABS does not guarantee tax outcomes or refund amounts. Government fees are separate from ABS service fees unless the signed scope says otherwise. All figures on this page come from the ABS public rate card.
