New York LLC
Forming a Limited Liability Company in New York

Forming an LLC in New York, while complicated, may not be as difficult as you think. However, it can be a very intimidating task if you are forming an LLC in New York for the first time. However, there are a number of options which can make the process much easier and we are going to review the most common.
There are three primary ways businesses choose when forming an LLC in New York.
- First, you can form the LLC yourself through the New York Secretary of State
- You can also hire an attorney to handle your filing
- Or you can hire a company specializing in business formations
Each of these options provide advantages and also have some disadvantages, so it is important to choose based on your own levels of experience and understanding of limited liability companies, as well as the budget you have allotted for starting your business.
Let's quickly review the three options.
Cost will probably always make this a popular option with many small businesses. There is no other option that will cost less than doing it yourself, as is true with so many things. However, forming your business personally is also the most likely of the three ways to result in errors in the filing. The state forms, as with so many government processes, are complicated and errors can be expensive to correct. First, of course, you must be aware you made a mistake. The New York Secretary of State does not concern itself with insuring much beyond having all the boxes filled in. When forming an LLC in New York, the responsibility for doing it right falls on you.
Anyone who has your best interest at heart will insist you consult with an attorney, as well as a financial expert like an accountant before forming an LLC in New York or anywhere else. After all, you are forming an LLC for the limited liability protection and the tax benefits it can provide your business. In a matter as important as this, you may need more than what your friends and family can offer. When you meet with these licensed professionals, the advice they give should prove to be invaluable in terms of how you structure both the legal entity and the financial order of the company. Unfortunately, you will also see how very expensive their help can be. Depending on where you are located and the rates charged, this one meeting could easily cost hundreds of dollars. Still, you are paying them because of their expertise and this meeting probably should be part of your plan. Once they give their recommendation, however, you have other options, which are less expensive, for implementing it. Having an attorney form an LLC for you is the most expensive way to go, to the point of potentially costing thousand of dollars.
Companies that specialize in business formations, like EZOnlineFiling.com are the bridge between the other two options. We will not advise you on legal and/or financial matters, since we are not licensed to do so, but we are significantly less expensive for the actual process of forming an LLC in New York and the help we provide as specialists is invaluable. The idea is to know basically what you want when you go to the formation company.
