Although we use Stripe system for online billing and help customers to charge for their services this way, we have recently seen that Stripe, as we find out, in partnership with YCombinator and other accelerators, initiated a new way to help founders and startups to focus more on their business and less on paperwork.
This service is called Stripe Atlas.

How much Stripe Atlas service costs?
Stripe for this service charges a one-time fee of $500 after the whole procedure is finished. As it's written on their website there are no hidden costs and it is possible to pay by credit card or bank transfer.
