New York's LLC publication requirement
New York makes every new LLC publish in two newspapers its county clerk chooses, then file a certificate of publication. It catches out almost everyone who forms there.
What you get
- Certificate filed within one business day of your affidavits arriving
- New York's $50 fee included at cost, shown in the breakdown before payment
- Newspaper charges are billed to you by the papers, never through us
- We tell you which county's papers apply before you start
Filed in a day. One flat price. Nothing you didn't ask for.
Filed within one business day
One tier, one speed, every order. There is no rush fee here because there is no slow lane to buy your way out of.
A specialist reads every filing
Prepared and checked before it is filed. If your name or address will not clear the state, you hear from us before it goes in.
Registered agent at $99, only if you want one
Optional, and it sits beside a free option to name yourself. Most people never need to buy it.
One price, and nothing starts on its own
$100 to form, $50 flat for every filing after. The only thing that can renew is a registered agent you chose, at the price you chose it for. No tiers, no trial that turns into a charge.

Common questions
New York can suspend your LLC's authority to do business in the state until it is done. The obligation does not expire, so LLCs that ignored it years ago still have to publish before they can put it right.
Because the newspapers set their own rates and the county clerk chooses which papers you may use. Manhattan's designated papers are the most expensive in the state, which is why some owners use a registered agent address in a cheaper county at formation.
None of it. You pay the newspapers directly. Our $50 is for preparing and filing the certificate, and New York's $50 is the state's own fee.
No, the publication requirement is for LLCs. New York corporations do not have to publish.
