Does a US Corporation costs $7,500 per year just to operate?

I have gone through this article and as the title says it costs about $7,500 per year to run a US corporation.

I want to know from Indian founders who have registered their startups in the US as to how their costs are working out to be.

    That's entirely not true. I have registered several companies within the US and the costs are closer to a few hundred bucks a year.

    Generally, LLCs are cheaper than C corp or S corps, but even with attorney fees the most expensive still shouldn't be more than $500-1000 a year.

      Just kidding, but the point is don't worry about that stuff until you launch and have paying customers.
