Some states require the filing of a BPOL on an annual basis. This is basically a fee for doing business in a certain state, county, or city. Usually it is a flat percentage of your gross or net sales depending on the state. For example in Virginia each county or city has a different percentage amount based on gross sales for the previous year or expected sales for the year if you're a new business. The most important part of the fee is to ensure that you file it timely and as accurate as possible. We will help you set this up or if you prefer handle the filing of the BPOL for you.
