FAQ

New York-specific LLC questions.

What is the NY publication requirement?
New York requires every new LLC to publish a formation notice in 2 newspapers (1 daily, 1 weekly) in the county where the LLC is formed, for 6 consecutive weeks. Cost: $300 in upstate counties, $1,500+ in NYC counties. We coordinate publication.
