What it costs

Your setup is half of one percent of one year's spending, from your company's public IRS filing. No filing on record? We use the typical spending for a first due your size.

The founding spot for Tippah County is open. The first company in the county to sign up gets its setup fee waived.

Year one is a setup fee that builds every card and includes the monthly checks and the note to the chief. Each year after, $120 a year keeps them going.
