Since 2019, My Startup LLC has formed and published New York LLCs with a simple promise: one flat fee, every county, nothing left undone. Thousands of businesses later, our complaint record is still zero.
Most founders discover New York's publication requirement the hard way — weeks after forming their LLC, when a letter, a lawyer, or a late-night search reveals that the state expects six consecutive weeks of newspaper notices, sworn affidavits, and a Certificate of Publication. Miss it, and your authority to do business is suspended.
We built My Startup LLC to make that discovery a non-event. One order. One flat fee. We select the county-clerk-approved newspapers, draft and place the notices, run the full six-week schedule, collect both affidavits, prepare the certificate, and file it with the Department of State — expedited, at no extra charge.
Publication costs vary wildly by county — Manhattan newspaper rates can run several times what an upstate weekly charges. Most services pass that lottery on to you. We don't. Whether your LLC sits in New York County or Wyoming County, the price is the price. We built our model so the risk is ours, not yours.
We are one of the few firms that handles both halves of a New York launch in a single order — Articles of Organization, EIN assistance, a free Operating Agreement as required by NY LLC Law § 417, and the entire publication process. Nothing falls through the gap between two vendors, because there is no gap.
My Startup LLC was founded by a paralegal with over fifteen years of hands-on experience in a busy New York law firm. That real-world legal background shapes everything we do — from the precision of our filings to the responsiveness of our customer service.
The premise was simple. We watched too many entrepreneurs miss deadlines, overpay for newspaper placements, or get left holding the bag by services that filed Articles of Organization and then disappeared. New York business owners deserve a service that handles formation and publication correctly, affordably, and without the runaround. We set out to fix that — and we've been doing it successfully ever since.
It's also why we focus exclusively on New York entities. We know every county's designated newspapers, every quirk of the Department of State's filing process, and every formatting requirement for legal notices. One wrong newspaper or one missed week can mean starting the six-week clock over — specialization is how we make sure it never does.
Within 120 days of formation, every New York LLC must publish notice in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks — or its authority to carry on business is suspended.
New York Limited Liability Company Law § 206, paraphrased
This isn't optional. It's the law. Suspension means losing limited-liability protection. It means you can't maintain lawsuits in New York courts. Licenses and permits dry up. In the worst case, the state can dissolve your company entirely. The good news: compliance restores good standing the moment the Certificate of Publication is filed — we can complete it at any time, even years late, usually faster than you'd expect.
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No newspaper bills tacked on later.
