   The cost depends on the type of registration and the applicable official fee schedule. A business name and a private limited company do not have the same registration fee. Additional expenses may arise from professional assistance, licences, permits, or other compliance requirements. Check the current Business Registration Service fee schedule before paying. Do not rely on old screenshots or unverified third-party quotations.

   The fee depends on what you register, so start by deciding the structure. A business name and a company are priced differently, and the official fee schedule lists the current amounts.

   Treat the registration fee as only part of your start-up cost. You may also need a county permit, tax registration, a bank account and possibly professional help.
