Incorporating in New YorkTwo things founders learn late. The publication requirement applies to LLCs, not corporations. If you form an LLC, you publish in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks in the county of your designated office. The cost varies sharply by county, and New York County is the expensive one. Miss it and your authority to sue in New York courts is suspended. If you form a corporation, none of this applies — which is itself sometimes the reason to form one. BCL § 630 is the provision nobody mentions. The ten largest shareholders of a privately held New York corporation are personally liable for unpaid wages owed to the corporation's employees. This is not piercing the corporate veil; it is a statute, and it applies to shareholders who did nothing wrong. The LLC Law contains a parallel provision for members. Forming the entity does not insulate you from it. And a question the title of this page assumes away. Many New York businesses incorporate in Delaware and register here as a foreign entity.
