Forming an LLC establishes a unique business entity. This corporation can open bank accounts and conduct various business operations and has a unique tax identification number.
Business entities formed as LLCs are pass-through entities for taxes, meaning owners are only taxed on their profits once. LLCs may also elect S-Corporation status and be taxed as an S-Corporation. A New York LLC lawyer can work with your accountant to advise you on which tax election suits your needs.
Establishing an LLC is a complex process that requires specific knowledge. The skilled legal team at Lawyer For Business can assist you with the following:

Our New York LLC Package is a flat fee for forming your LLC, the same whether it has one owner or several. We charge $2,495 plus credit card fees, as of October 2026, or $500 more if your business is in the NYC area, to cover the higher cost of legal advertising there.
That fee covers our legal work to form and file your LLC, New York’s own filing fees, and the newspaper advertising the state’s publication requirement calls for.
Our New York LLC package includes:
The flat fee already covers these filing and processing costs:
| Included cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| NY Articles of Organization filing fee | $200 |
| Certified Copy | $10 |
| Expedited processing | $50 |
| Certificate of Publication | $50 |
When your LLC has more than one owner, we usually suggest a buy-sell agreement as well. That agreement is billed separately from the package fee above, at $350/hour, usually starting at 1.5-3 hours.
We proudly serve businesses across New York and Florida. Below, you’ll find some of the key locations where we’ve helped businesses thrive.
Professional Limited Liability Companies (PLLCs) are a type of New York LLC specifically for licensed professionals, such as physicians, attorneys, architects, or accountants.
Many of these professions are more likely to face a malpractice suit than other types of professionals; forming a PLLC shields the other members of the practice from being named or having personal assets seized in a malpractice suit against one of the members.
The Limited Liability Company laws in New York State require all NYS LLCs to publish a notice of formation within 120 days of the LLC’s filing approval. The NY Department of State requires a certificate of publication and/or affidavit of publication within 120 days; otherwise, the LLC is not legally permitted to conduct business. If the LLC is conducting business, its authority to do so will be suspended.
Forming a New York LLC offers many benefits. Perhaps the biggest benefit is that this type of corporation limits the liability of each member to only the money each invested into the company.
Other benefits include:
When seeking to establish an LLC in New York, you must complete and file the required paperwork. We can assist with registered agent referral, if necessary.
The primary difference is ownership. An LLC is owned by an individual or group of “members”, while a traditional corporation is owned by a group of “shareholders”. Tax obligations are different as well.
Our New York LLC package is $2,495 plus credit card fees, or $500 more in the NYC area, as of October 1, 2026. Fortunately, Lawyer For Business provides premiere services at affordable rates.
We don’t rate other firms’ quotes, and a dollar figure alone does not tell you much. Compare what each number actually includes.
New York itself charges $200 to file the Articles of Organization and $50 to file the Certificate of Publication, under LLC Law § 1101. That shows how much of any quote is the state’s own cost rather than legal work. Before you decide, ask what a flat fee includes and what happens if your matter turns out to be more complicated than expected.
Sometimes, and sometimes the savings don’t last. An online filing service can miss a requirement that costs more to fix later than the upfront price it saved.
Business owners who form an LLC themselves often end up paying more to correct mistakes than they would have paid to avoid them. A low advertised price from a DIY service can also come with costs that only show up afterward.
Our LLC formation work is billed as a single flat fee, not by the hour. We offer flat fees for entity formation and trademarks only, and bill other legal work differently.
With hourly billing, you pay the same rate whether the time goes to a phone call, an email reply or drafting a document, which makes the total harder to predict in advance. See our breakdown of flat fees versus hourly billing for more on how the two compare.
You are legally in business within 24 to 48 hours after we receive your signed retainer agreement and payment.
You sign our operating agreement and follow our instructions for obtaining your EIN, and we handle the remaining filings during the 120 days that follow. Publication then runs in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks, and the Certificate of Publication must reach the Department of State within 120 days of filing. If your LLC has more than one owner, see the buy-sell note in the package above.
Publication cost varies by county, and our flat fee already builds in the average cost.
The NYC-area difference in our fee, described above, accounts for that higher cost, so it is not charged a second time. A flat package also lets you budget the full cost of publication before you start.
