What an LLC costs in New York
New York's $200 filing fee is only the start: the newspaper publication rule usually costs more than the filing itself.
The numbers
What it owes every year
Biennial Statement, $9, due every 2 years in your anniversary month.
Know this before you file
New York LLCs must complete a real publication requirement (notice in two local newspapers for 6 consecutive weeks, commonly $500-$1,500+ depending on county) within 120 days of formation - skip it and the LLC loses its authority to do business in the state, a real cost most other states don't impose.
First-year math
$200 Articles of Organization + the publication requirement (two newspapers, six weeks; commonly $500 to $1,500+ depending on county) + $50 Certificate of Publication.
