New York LLC at a Glance
Note: New York requires most LLCs to publish notice of formation in two county-designated newspapers for six consecutive weeks, then file a Certificate of Publication with the affidavits attached and a $50 fee. There is a deadline attached that catches people out: it must be done within 120 days of formation, or the LLC's authority to conduct business in New York is suspended. In New York City the newspaper cost is commonly $1,000–$2,000; upstate it is typically $100–$200. The biennial statement itself is only $9, filed every two years from the month you formed.
