What "forming an LLC" means in New York
Forming a New York LLC starts by filing Articles of Organization with the New York Department of State. The state filing fee is $200.
County selection matters
Your Articles of Organization must designate the New York county where your LLC's office is located.
Service of process built in
New York LLCs must designate the Secretary of State as agent for service of process and provide a mailing address.
Plan for it early
The New York LLC publication requirement
New York requires domestic LLCs to publish formation notice details in two newspapers within 120 days of formation and then file a Certificate of Publication with the state. The Certificate of Publication filing fee is $50.
Your operating agreement deadline
New York law provides that an operating agreement may be entered into before, at the time of, or within 90 days after filing the Articles of Organization. Even when not filed with the state, it clarifies ownership and decision-making.
