Setup quotes list what the seller provides. They may not list what the company needs afterwards. This page is a checklist of cost categories to ask about, framed as an estimate with stated assumptions rather than a price.
A quote is a statement of what one party sells. A cost estimate is a statement of what the company will need, from several parties, over time. Differences between them are not always hidden on purpose; they are simply outside the seller's scope. We list them so you can compare structures on the same footing.
No amounts are given here. The estimate for your case states its assumptions and how far each line could move.
Type: Recurring; whether it applies depends on the structure. May be missed because: Treated as part of setup, but renews.
Type: Recurring; whether it applies depends on the structure. May be missed because: Depends on your volume, not on the structure alone.
Type: Recurring; whether it applies depends on the structure. May be missed because: Bundled or omitted in a registration offer.
Type: One-off, sometimes optional. May be missed because: Needed late, when a counterparty asks.
Type: Recurring, optional by provider. May be missed because: Appears after the account is open.
Type: Recurring, depends on structure. May be missed because: Only relevant if the structure requires them.
Type: Occasional. May be missed because: Not priced until you want to move or close.
Which lines apply depends on the structure and activity; none is stated as universal.
More transactions or currencies make the recurring lines heavier.
Anything set by outside parties can move; the estimate marks which.
A counterparty or regulator asks for something you thought was optional.
We strike the categories that clearly do not apply to your structure, so the list you keep describes your case and not a generic one.
Each remaining line is marked as mandatory or optional and as one-off or recurring, so you can see what returns every year.
