With our service, we handle all 10 steps for $385.
Time Investment
DIY requires 10+ hours of research, coordination, and follow-up spread across 6–8 weeks. Our service requires a 5-minute online order.
Risk
One mistake in the publication notice — wrong wording, wrong newspaper, missed deadline — means starting over. With our service, you get a money-back guarantee and 100% NY DOS acceptance rate.
Our Service vs. Generic Filing Services▾
The Registered Agent Trap
Many generic services advertise low upfront prices ($99–199) but require you to sign up for a registered agent at $200+/year. After three years, you've paid $900+ — more than double our $385 one-time fee with no recurring costs.
County Change Risk
Generic services operate across all 62 New York counties. To save money, they may switch your publication to a cheaper county without your knowledge. We are a Westchester County specialist — your publication stays in Westchester where your LLC was filed.
One of 62 Counties vs. Westchester Specialist
Generic services treat Westchester as one of 62 counties. We have direct relationships with Westchester County Clerk-designated newspapers, which means faster turnaround and fewer errors. Read our detailed analysis.
Our Service vs. Attorney▾
Price Comparison
Attorneys typically charge $800–1,500+ for LLC publication. Our service is $385. The publication process is the same mechanical filing either way.
Same Process, Different Price
LLC publication is a procedural filing — place ads in designated newspapers, collect affidavits, file with the state. An attorney follows the same steps we do. The difference is the price tag.
When an Attorney IS Needed
If you need legal advice about your LLC structure, operating agreement, tax elections, or liability protection, consult an attorney. For the publication filing itself, our dedicated service handles it at a fraction of the cost.
Disclaimer: We are not attorneys. This is a filing service, not legal advice. If you need legal counsel, please consult a licensed attorney.

Comparison Questions
What's the cheapest way to publish my LLC?▾
DIY is cheapest upfront at $300–500, but requires 10+ hours of your time researching designated newspapers, placing ads, collecting notarized affidavits, and filing with the NY Department of State. Our service at $385 handles everything so you can focus on your business.
Do I really need a registered agent?▾
No. NY LLC Law does not require a registered agent for publication. Generic filing services bundle a registered agent for recurring revenue — typically $200+/year — but it is not a legal requirement for publication.
Can I switch from another service to yours?▾
Yes. Contact us and we can often pick up where your previous service left off, saving you time and avoiding duplicate work.
What's the total cost including government fees?▾
Our service is $385. The NY Department of State charges an additional $50 filing fee paid directly to the state. Total: $435.
