- Republic, MO, USA • Jul 27, 2025

What I realized it was odd with this letter that I meed to pay for EIN# $185 (which I already had). Labor law poster $120. Certificate of status $89.95.

Which as I remember I email them at first with question that, why I need EIN# when I already had, the lady was very polite, who responded to my email by a phone call and left voice mail. What really helped me, it just turned out I couldn't pay by due date, and that is when I started to feel something is off they offering me when I already had.

- Vienna, VA, USA • Jun 21, 2025

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.
