Capabilities

Tools 8

check_llc_name_availability

Checks whether a proposed name for a NEW New York LLC or PLLC is free on the state's live register, the way the Department of State compares names (ignoring case, punctuation, the LLC ending and a leading 'The'). Returns the name as it would be filed, whether it is taken, and similar existing names. Advisory: the Department of State has the final word. Use when someone is choosing a name or planning to form an LLC.

Discovered
explain_publication_requirement

Explains New York's LLC publication requirement (LLC Law §206 for New York LLCs, §802 for out-of-state LLCs registered in New York): who must publish, how (two newspapers designated by the county clerk, one daily and one weekly, once a week for six weeks), the 120-day deadline and when it starts, what happens if it is missed (authority suspended, no fine, curable by publishing late), and whether it repeats (it does not). Use for 'do I have to publish', 'what happens if I don't', 'I missed the deadline' and similar. Do NOT use for prices (get_publication_price) or a specific LLC (lookup_new_york_llc).

Discovered
get_filing_service

Prices and explains Cheap NY Publication's other New York LLC filings, all in with the state fee: the Biennial Statement (New York's every-two-years report; there is no annual report), a Certificate of Good Standing (Certificate of Status), a DBA (Certificate of Assumed Name) for an LLC, and a county change (Certificate of Change). The Biennial Statement and the Certificate of Good Standing are for business corporations too. For a Biennial Statement, pass the company's filing date to get the month it is due. Use for any of these four.

Discovered
get_ny_llc_formation_statistics

Returns how many LLCs were formed in New York in the latest full month, the change from a year earlier, the year to date, the top counties, New York City's share and the share filed through commercial registered agents, from the Department of State's register (refreshed daily) as analyzed by Cheap NY Publication. Use for questions about how many LLCs are formed in New York, trends, or counties.

Discovered
get_publication_price

Returns Cheap NY Publication's all-in price to complete New York LLC publication for an LLC in a given county, for a New York LLC or an out-of-state (foreign) LLC, with what the price includes. Two ways are priced: the LLC's county changed to a lower-cost county, where the designated newspapers cost far less (the change is filed for the customer and included), or publishing directly in the LLC's own county. Optionally compares a second county. Accepts borough names (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island). Use for any cost question. If the user names a specific LLC, use lookup_new_york_llc instead.

Discovered
lookup_new_york_llc

Searches New York State's live business register (Department of State data on data.ny.gov, updated daily) by LLC name or DOS ID. For each match returns the entity type, the county on file, the filing date, the 120-day publication deadline with days left or how long ago it passed, the month the next Biennial Statement is due, and the exact all-in price to publish it. Use whenever the user names a specific LLC or asks about their own deadline, county or price. Do NOT use for a name that is not formed yet (use check_llc_name_availability).

Discovered
quote_llc_formation

Prices forming a new New York LLC (or PLLC) together with its required publication, line by line: the $200 Articles of Organization state fee, publication in Albany County or the LLC's own county, and add-ons (an EIN, a DBA, PLLC licensing). Several LLCs in one order (up to 10, e.g. one per property) take $10 off each LLC after the first. Use when someone plans to form an LLC and asks what it costs.

Discovered
start_order

Returns the link to start an order with Cheap NY Publication for a service, prefilled with the LLC's name when given. Nothing is charged here: the customer reviews the price, agrees to the terms and pays on our secure checkout. Use only when the user says they want to go ahead.
