New York Publication Requirement
New York City is flat-out expensive, but the state’s publishing requirement pours salt in the wound. After you form an LLC with the NY Department of State, you’ll need to:
1.
Contact your county clerk within 120 days of LLC formation.
2.
Publish an LLC notice with TWO publications in your county.
3.
Pay the publication fee, which in NYC can be nearly $1,500.
Common Questions About NY’s Publication Requirement:
Why two publications?
According to NY LLC L § 206, you must publish notice of your new LLC with one weekly newspaper and one daily newspaper. Both notices need to be published for six consecutive weeks.
Which two publications?
New York City has several print publications, but you won’t be able to publish wherever you’d like. According to NY State Limited Liability Company Law, you’ll have to publish with the two newspapers designated by your county clerk.
Why so
expensive?
That’s NYC for you.
But it doesn’t have to be that way…

How to Save Money with a New Jersey LLC
If you ask us, New Jersey is superior to New York in many ways—but cost is the big one. As if rent, taxes and coffee aren’t expensive enough in the Big Apple, forming a business in New York City means paying hundreds of dollars to fulfill the state’s Publication Requirement. Why?
For one thing, the NY Department of State won’t get rid of the requirement, so you’re stuck with it. But more significantly, NYC has the most expensive publishing fees in the entire state (no surprise), so if you’re forming a New York LLC in The City you’ll be paying top dollar…

Frequently Asked Questions
How is your New York publication fee so cheap??
We’re able to foreign register your company in Albany County, which is significantly less expensive ($150) than publishing in New York City ($1,500).
What is foreign registration?
Foreign registration is required of companies that were initially formed in one state, but operate in another. For example, if you form your LLC in New Jersey and operate your business in New York, you’ll have to foreign register in New York. “Foreign,” in this case, just means “out-of-state.”
Why does New York have a publication requirement?
New York’s LLC publishing requirement exists to inform the public of new businesses that pop up in their area. Unfortunately, publishing in a newspaper is a pretty outdated (and expensive) way of getting information out there.
