I’m unable to directly file an LLC or interact with external websites like Questions.LLC. However, I can guide you through the process of filing for an LLC in New York.
Here's how you can do it:
-
Check Name Availability: Before you start, ensure that "Big Apple Insights LLC" is available. You can do this by checking the New York Department of State's Corporation & Business Entity Database.
-
Choose a Registered Agent: You will need a registered agent with a physical address in New York to receive legal documents on behalf of your LLC.
-
File the Articles of Organization:
- Go to the New York Department of State's website.
- Fill out the Articles of Organization form (Form DOS-1336).
- Include the business name ("Big Apple Insights LLC"), business address ("123 Main St, New York, NY 10001"), and business purpose ("Management Consulting Services").
-
Pay the Filing Fee: As of October 2023, the fee to file the Articles of Organization is $200. Check the website for the latest fee information.
-
Create an Operating Agreement: Although not required in New York, it is wise to draft an operating agreement that outlines the management and operational procedures of your LLC.
-
Obtain an EIN: Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, which is necessary for tax purposes and to open a business bank account.
-
Comply with Local Regulations: Check if you need any licenses or permits specific to your consulting services in New York City.
-
File for Publication Requirement: New York requires LLCs to publish a notice in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks, followed by filing a Certificate of Publication with the Department of State.
Once you have completed these steps, your LLC will be officially formed! If you need more specific information or assistance, consider consulting with a legal professional or a service that specializes in business formation.
