Common Questions
LLC or Corporation — which is right for me?
Most small businesses benefit from an LLC due to its simplicity, asset protection, and flexible taxation. If you plan to seek outside investment or issue stock, a Corporation may be the better fit. We walk you through the tradeoffs in your free consultation.
How long does formation take in New York?
Standard processing with the NY Department of State takes 7-10 business days. Expedited processing (24-hour and same-day) is available for an additional state fee. We submit your filing as soon as documents are signed.
What is the New York publication requirement?
New York requires LLCs to publish a notice of formation in two newspapers (one daily, one weekly) in the county of formation for six consecutive weeks. We guide you through the process and connect you with cost-effective publication options.
Do I need a registered agent?
Yes. Every NY business entity must designate a registered agent to receive legal and tax documents. We provide registered agent service as part of our formation package.
