Form indicates annual registration fees are due for my business and threatens dissolution or revocation if not paid by Aug 31, 2025. Provides QR code which takes you to busfile.org. The $225 price tag was a red flag - as registration should be $50. Looks like they will pay for you and charge a $175 markup. Did not pay. Went to SCC site directly and paid.
