New York corporations and limited liability companies are formed by filing the original of the Articles of Incorporation (Organization) with the Division of Corporations of New York Department of State. The filing fee is $200 for limited liability companies and minimum $125 for corporations (plus the applicable tax on shares - a minimum of $10). The entire filing process takes roughly two weeks.
New York State requires all newly formed limited liability companies (but not corporations) to publish an announcement in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks. The newspapers are determined by the clerk of the county where the LLC is formed. If an LLC fails to publish it will not be in good standing with the Department of State.
The name of the corporation or limited liability company must end with one of the following words: Incorporated, Corporation or Limited Liability Company, or their abbreviations: Inc., Corp., L.L.C. or LLC.
We can help you prepare and file all the necessary incorporation or LLC formation paperwork with the appropriate New York State authorities for just $39.00 plus the required state fees.
