How to Start an LLC in New York

How to start an LLC in New York? In order to incorporate an LLC in New York you must first obtain a certificate of registration (CO) from the New York State Board of License. Then, you can continue with the steps on how to start an LLC in New York. There are five main requirements to meet before incorporating.

• First, to incorporate an LLC in New York you will have to get business permits. You can get these business permits through the state or through the county (if you filed Articles of Organization). To make an LLC in New York you have to file Articles of Organization with your county clerk. The Articles of Organization must contain all the information about your business entity, including its address, its names, and its date of dissolution, which is when the LLC becomes a public company.
• Next, you must file a Statement of Organization. The statement of organization should also include your LLC’s name, date of incorporation, the LLC’s address, and its status as a public limited liability company ( LLC-P). After filing these documents, the offices will inform the IRS if you’re required to get a tax id number for your business. It depends on your location and the filing status. Your accountant can provide you with the necessary forms to fill in.
• Finally, you have to prepare and register your trademark. You have to do this by filing a trademark application. The trademark office in New York has different forms that you have to complete and submit to be valid, including the statement of name, the name, address, and the name of the LLC as well as the symbol used to indicate the LLC.
• Once all the documents are filed, you’re done with starting up your limited liability company in New York. However, it would be a good idea to have a business plan, which will be a road map to success. If you’re not familiar with how business plans work, don’t worry. Your accountant will be glad to assist you with it. Remember, an assumed name doesn’t mean you don’t have to have a business plan.

You’re now done with the first steps. The next one is to choose an agent. File a Notice of Appointment with the New York State Supreme Court. Your agent should be someone who lives in New York and has been a resident for at least one year. He or she must be 18 years old or older and have a valid US passport. When your application was filed, your agent will have to complete and file your legal papers and pay the appropriate filing fee.
