New York LLC Publication Cost
New York requires that LLCs publish notice of formation in a newspaper that operates from the same county as the LLC's principal address. For LLCs in counties where publication fees are high, like New York, Bronx, Kings, and Queens counties, this can be expensive.
Our New York LLC Publication Cost guide outlines the costs of publication in all counties and gives options for saving money.
Recommended: Use a registered agent service like Northwest Registered Agent to publish in an inexpensive county.

The NY publication requirement can be a financial burden for many small businesses.
Small businesses in more expensive counties, especially New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, and Suffolk, find that using a registered agent service is the best way to alleviate the burden of the New York publishing requirement.
Recommended: Northwest Registered Agent offers free registered agent services for one year with LLC formation service.
