NSC Standard Fee Schedule
Every fee, published.
Effective November 1, 2026, revised November 10, 2026. Fees shown are NSC professional fees. Government, attorney, and other third-party costs are listed separately on every quote.
The same schedule as a six-page PDF for your records.
Flat, written fees
Every engagement is quoted in writing before work begins, and a quoted fee does not change once the engagement starts.
Accuracy is the product
Fees reflect the time it takes to verify every record, cite every rule correctly, and deliver documents that stand up to a lender, a bank, a state agency, or an attorney's review.
Custom documents start at $300
Every governing document, resolution, and agreement is drafted for the client's state, ownership, and structure.
Administrative Fee
Each invoice carries the Administrative Fee in Section 9. The "With Admin Fee" column shows a service billed on its own invoice. Combined services cost less because the fee caps at $250.
Attorney review
Services marked "Yes" are reviewed by NSC's attorney before delivery. Review is billed at the attorney's rate plus 10% and listed as its own line on every quote.
Government fees at cost
State, county, and federal fees, registered agent service, and other third-party costs are passed through at cost and listed separately.
