Connecticut fee schedule
Our state figure counts three items: the filing, two years of reports and a minimum tax where one exists. Variable costs like publication are excluded.
Why quote one is quote one
Weight 30%: filings handled per dollar. That term separated the top two quotes.
One agent for any state beat the one-state quote.
