here in south carolina the bi-annual fee is $350, lib. ins $450/yr, health ins. $2760/yr.(which covers work injuries for me only). each small town, which there are 8, charge from $80 to $160 for business licenses which increase if the job costs go over a certain amount. and the going rate/hr is about $35. however, by the time you bargin, the rate falls to about $20 to $25/hr. i figure by having no employees i can stay ahead of the game mainly because of the workmans comp cost.
p.s. forgot to mention the permit costs $15 to $200
