How much should a GC charge to pull permits and show up for inspections (as needed)?

How much should a general contractor charge to allow my company to pull permits for each renovation and how much should he charge per onsite visit to spot check subcontractor work?

DETAILS:
I'm registering a general contractor as an officer in my LLC. He will name my company with SOS to pull permits under his license. His time spent on each project is super minimal but I need his ability to pull permits and construction expertise to spot check subcontractor work while I am studying to take the Residential Builder Exam myself to get my own license. (My company has it's general liability insurance, of course.)

So, this is a temporary arrangement, at least for now.

He will charge a fee to pull permits and to do periodic inspections to make sure my subcontractors are doing quality work but I will be project managing the entire job and handling all components of the renovation from design, floor plans, estimating, purchasing, hiring and overseeing the subcontractors, etc.

The general contractor and I are regrouping next week to discuss what he would like to charge and I just want to get some feedback from you experts before we meet. Thank you in advance.
