hello everyone I'm back with another video and I'm going to show you how to form your LLC in New York State for under $1,000 with these four easy steps and you won't need to use any of those third-party services so stay tuned okay so we are already assuming that you have chosen a name once you have chosen a name you want to make sure that this name isn't already taken so you're going to go to the business and corporate entity database and you're going to type in that name and see if it's already taken it's super easy super quick I know there's also a feature where you can send a letter I guess to New York State with along with $20 and they'll check it for the whole system through their whole system I mean but this is also a very easy and simple way to do this I did not do that I just did a preliminary search on their website my name wasn't taken so I went and bought the domain immediately the dot-com is going to be your best bet because it ranks higher in Google than maybe dot NYC I would also grab the social handles so that's Twitter Facebook Instagram or your big three that you want to grab as soon as possible and just hold on to it don't feel the need to post anything just hold on to that name alright so next you're gonna file your articles of organization you can do this by mail fax or online the cost is $200 and this is a super easy form I'll link in the description box on how you fill out this form and you're gonna send it in with $200 and you're gonna wait a second when you get your filing receipt you do want to make as many copies as you feel like you need put them in different places because they do not issue copies of this so if you lose it I think that's it I don't know what happens then but you want to keep your filing receipt the third step is you're gonna publish your articles of organization in your local newspapers you cannot choose which newspapers and I think this is where a lot of people get confused you cannot choose the newspapers so you're gonna call the county clerk in the county that you are registering in and you're gonna ask them what papers do I need to publish in they will likely give you the phone number and you're gonna call them and tell them they'll send you an invoice you'll pay for it I believe mines was around 540 dollars and they'll publish it for six weeks so for six weeks you're not gonna do anything it's gonna be published in the newspaper this step is to prevent I guess like it's like at a wedding when people are like does anyone have any objections to this Union same situation with the newspaper situation you're gonna wait six weeks after the six weeks they'll send you an affidavit the affidavit you will file again with the division of corporations I believe yes the divisional corporations along with the certificate of publication form and $50.00 so there's gonna be three things in your envelope your two affidavits from the newspapers they require you to publish in your certificate of publication form and your $50.00 feet be getting your operating agreement together get your EIN start your trade marketing process but then you're done that's that's literally all you have to do anyway guys I hope this was helpful I hope that this prevents you from wasting a little bit of money as a start-up you have to conserve every dollar that you possibly can and I totally understand please reach out to me if you have any questions at all girl on Instagram thank you so much

ready to incorporate an llc in new york but unsure where to begin today you will learn about the most common ways to start your business including the correct forms you'll need how to register your llc critical naming requirements and all other important tips and tricks then as a bonus later on in the video i will reveal to you a trustworthy registered agent who will help set up your llc for free so make sure to stick with me until the end new york llc's are cost effective and easy to set up the state of new york like other states has several specific llc requirements there are three main ways you can start an llc in new york first is the diy or do-it-yourself process where you mostly depend on new york state's website the second way is hiring a professional service that practically offers more efficiency and security in a process of creating your llc while the third one is hiring an attorney we will skip the attorney hiring portion because that's expensive and most business owners won't need that service first let's take a look at the steps required for starting an llc on your own step one name your business before anything else you will have to think of the llc's legal business name each llc in new york must have a distinct llc name that is not currently in use you must include the terms limited liability company or an abbreviation such as llc you cannot include phrases such as a corporation which would lead people to believe you are a different business organization knowing if your business name is taken or not is very easy just go to google and type in the words business entity records new york secretary of state and click the first search result i also have the link in the description below for your convenience it will lead you to a landing page of business entity records in new york scroll down a little and you will see some search options which makes checking the availability of your business name easier generally you can click the first option entity name and type in your business name for example i am typing a very common business name here car wash express which will give you a list of existing business names a unique business name will say no matches found just like this random name i typed in keep in mind that the division of revenue doesn't check names for trademark compliance it's ultimately up to you and your business attorney to ensure that your llc's name doesn't infringe on any other company's rights step two new york requires llc to have a registered agent an agent has a physical address a po box is not allowed and is available during business hours this agent will serve as the llc's primary point of contact for receiving key legal papers tax warnings summons subpoenas and so on you can register yourself or someone in your company but i highly recommend getting a professional registered agent as they have more knowledge by protecting your company in cases of possible cracks while i agree that family members or friends are reliable enough to be trusted as your llc's agent you are more comfortable sleeping at night knowing that your agent is professional and trained to manage legal documents to avoid problems concerning court schedules filing reports with the secretary of state etc besides hiring a professional registered agent is not expensive in fact there are companies who offer a free registered agent as part of your package when you form your llc through them inc file is a company i recommend which has this free service inc file offers a free registered agent on your first year of signing up for their service during that free year you can already take advantage of a professional and trained agent to receive legal documents on your behalf a dashboard where you can always access the correspondence that your agent has received as well as email notifications and automatic forwarding whenever your registered agent receives documents step 3 filing the new york llc certificate of formation after that you must file the certificate of formation with the new york secretary of state's business entities division and the office of the judge of probate to officially incorporate a domestic new york limited liability company the new york state filing cost for llcs is 200 for both domestic llcs and foreign llcs what's the difference good question basically a domestic llc means that you are already a resident of new york and you want to build a business in new york foreign llc on the other hand is for people living outside new york but wants to start a business or a franchise of their business in new york with that said most businesses would be applying for a domestic llc you can file the certificate of formation online or by mailing it to the secretary of state expect the llc certification process to take approximately two weeks this is three to four days for the judge of probate and 10 days for the secretary of state step 4 prepare an operating agreement now an operating agreement is a good idea to have in place with the other members if your llc has more than one member although a limited liability company operating agreement is not necessary for new york your operating agreement should clarify how your company or business will handle big picture issues such as allocating earnings and losses and dissolving the company your operating agreement should also cover the transfer of membership interest profits or losses and distributions initial investments decision making powers voting rights and management and lastly dissolving the business why are operating agreements important a comprehensive operating agreement ensures that all business owners are on the same page and reduces the risk of future conflict step 5 obtain an ein an ein or employer identification number is a federal tax id issued by the irs your ein is used by them to readily identify your firm and tax filings all new york firms pay a business privilege tax and the state requires you to have an ein to file you may also be required to provide your ein when opening a bank account or applying for municipal permits or licenses obtaining an ein is a slightly longer process compared to their previous steps i'm sure you know anything to do with the irs is confusing first you have to have complete knowledge of your llc such as your company information managing member information business address business information company details and even critical information regarding vehicular assets and federal excise taxes this is another reason why getting a professional registered agent is way more convenient as they can do this for you as part of their service now let's talk about the second option to form an llc and that is hiring a professional formation service professional formation services do all the steps you should be doing on your own from filing necessary forms to acting as your registered agent you usually have to allocate a specific budget for this option as i already mentioned earlier inc file is one of the best companies out there to help you form your llc you can click on the link in the description to get access to this deal inc file is one of a kind as it offers a
