New York’s LLC and Partnership laws require companies to publish their articles of organization, or a notice containing the substance thereof, within 120 days of formation. Failure to do so can result in the suspension of your company’s ability to conduct business in NY.

NYS requires that all new LLCs, PLLCs, LPs, and LLPs publish “once in each week for six successive weeks, in two newspapers of the county in which the office of the limited liability company is located, one newspaper to be printed weekly and one newspaper to be printed daily, to be designated by the county clerk” (Sect 206 of NYS LLC law).

The most important part of each order is the NYS Filing Receipt that you received when you originally filed your articles of organization with NYS.  This is required by most County Clerk’s offices in order to obtain a proper newspaper designation. In addition, if you send us a copy of your articles of organization, it enables us to do yet another level of quality control.  Not sure what these documents look like?  Click here for samples!

No! A copy of the Filing Receipt is REQUIRED by most County Clerks in order to perform their designation. In most cases, and in particular in NY County and the boroughs, simply looking up your information in the Corporations Database DOES NOT comply with NYS statutes, and leaves you and your company potentially exposed from a long-term legal perspective.

Your articles of organization are the official record of the formation of your company. When filed with the State, information from these documents is entered into the State’s database and summarized on your Filing Receipt. The entry of this data into the Filing Receipt is a common source of errors. This Filing Receipt becomes the State’s primary source of information relating to your company. By providing us with your originating documents, we can compare them to your filing receipt and assist you in coordinating any necessary corrections prior to publishing, saving you both time and money.

Failure to publish in properly designated newspapers can result in your affidavits of publication being rejected by the NYS Secy. of State’s offices.

**  TS Associates is unique in that we provide PROOF of proper designation if requested. **

Usually, the entire process can take between 10-12 weeks from receipt of your order through the filing of the Certificate of Publication with the Secy. of State. The majority of orders are sent to the publishers the same day that they are received. In some cases, (typically NY and the boroughs), the County Clerk designation takes between 3-10 business days before the notice can be placed in the papers. Notices run for 6 weeks, after which the affidavit and filing process can take 4-5 weeks.

Each publisher will provide an Affidavit of Publication, containing the notice that was published, and listing the dates of publication in which the notice appeared. These affidavits, notarized by an authorized representative of each newspapers’ publisher, are filed with the Secy. of State’s office, certifying to NYS that your notice was published in accordance with NYS LLC/Partnership laws. Upon acceptance of these affidavits by NYS, the filing process is complete, and a Filing Receipt is issued to you for retention with your permanent business records.
