Usually you would add around $100k on the top to the application fee.

Then there will be other expenses (very significant). This is a serious business.

Luckily, this isn't the 1st gtld round and we (the industry) does have experienced professionals who specialize in helping companies applying for a GTLD.

Are you interested in one? .. if yes, your next stop probably is London (Domain Summit) > we will have at least several professionals who specialize in this service + we will definetelly have backend providers.

This is potentially a very good business, if really well prepared and for the right company (there are many financially unsucessful gtlds, for various reasons).
