What else affects total cost?
- •Registered agent — required in every state. You can often serve as your own if you have a qualifying in-state address, or use a commercial service ($50–$300/year typical).
- •Publication — required in a few states (notably New York, and sometimes Arizona/Nebraska). Can add hundreds of dollars in year one.
- •Local licenses — city or county business licenses are separate from state formation fees.
