Confidence
What we're less sure about
Cross-checked, pending a second verification pass
- Report data confirmed directly from official inbiz.in.gov (high confidence on that portion).
- Formation fee NOT confirmed from an official fee schedule - INBiz fee calculator returned no fee text.
- Biennial with first report due two years out, so no report fee in year one.
