New York LLC Publishing

Of course you can attempt it. But where would you even start? Who do you call? How do you make sure you get it right? One simple mistake can mean that you need to do the whole process all over again and pay the newspapers, filing fees, etc. again, costing you a fortune. You're better off having a company with expertise handle the LLC publication process for you.

The process takes about 9 months start to finish due to state processing delays. If you choose expedited processing when you file the certificate of publication, the time frame is reduced to about 9 weeks start to finish.

Under New York law, all newly-formed LLCs must publish a series of legal notices for 6 weeks in two newspapers, one weekly and one daily. These notices must be placed in certain designated newspapers in the county in which the LLC is located. Unfortunately, publishing in counties such as New York (Manhattan), Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Bronx, etc. are VERY expensive and can cost $1,200 or more for the publishing alone. It is the single most expensive part of forming an LLC. If you use certain strategies you can save about $800.
