What the $99 formation fee does and does not cover

ABS’s public fee table separates service charges from government costs. Formation support is $99 plus state fees, registered-agent support is $125 per year, and annual-report handling is $100 plus state fees. Tax filing, bookkeeping, expedited state service, and optional work are outside the formation price unless the signed scope says otherwise.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the abs filing fee for company formation?

The ABS public rate card lists company formation support at $99 plus state fees. Registered-agent support is $125 per year and annual-report handling is $100 plus state fees. State government fees are separate and confirmed before filing.

Which state should I choose?

State fees alone are not enough. Operating locations, employees, inventory, investors, and banking or marketplace requirements may matter. An entity formed elsewhere may still need foreign qualification where it operates.

Is an LLC always more tax-efficient than a corporation?

No. State-law entity type and federal tax classification are separate questions. The answer depends on ownership, income, payroll, distributions, and elections.

Does every new company need an EIN immediately?

Many entities need one for tax, payroll, banking, or platform purposes, but the requirement depends on the entity and activity. IRS rules also determine when a changed entity needs a new EIN.
