Why is commission different by industry?
Margins are different. Textiles and rice have thin margins, so the rate is lower. Instruments have higher margins, so the rate is higher.

Is the state fee included in the company setup price?
No. The state fee is paid to the state at cost, from $50 in New Mexico.
