The right support for every stage.
Start a business, keep it in good standing, or take care of your next filing. Explore our services and find out exactly what’s involved.
LLC formation
You tell us the name, the state and who is behind it. We prepare the articles, file them with the state, and put the deadlines that follow on a calendar you can see.
Registered agent
Every state requires an entity to name someone to receive legal papers. What matters is not the name on the filing — it is how fast what arrives reaches you.
Business licenses
Forming a company and licensing a business are two different things, and the second one is not issued by the state you formed in. Here is how the pieces fit together.
Business licenses in New York
New York does not issue a general state business licence. What it issues is a series of separate registrations, and which of them apply depends on your trade and your county.
Certificate of good standing
A one-page letter from the state saying your entity exists, has filed what it owes and has paid what it owes. Banks, lenders and other states ask for it constantly.
EIN application
The federal tax ID your business needs before a bank will open an account for it. We apply for it with the entity, or on its own if the company already exists.
Annual reports
Most entities lose good standing for the same reason: a report nobody remembered was due, in a state nobody was watching.
New York LLC publication
Six consecutive weeks, two newspapers chosen by the county clerk, and a certificate filed with the Department of State — within 120 days of forming.
