Compliance Standards

Our Approach to Compliance

LLC Publishers makes commercially reasonable efforts to provide services that we believe may assist with New York State LLC publication requirements. This page describes our general approach and understanding of certain requirements, but should not be considered legal advice or a guarantee of compliance.

New York State LLC Publication Requirements

Legal Framework

New York Limited Liability Company Law Section 206 requires every LLC to publish a copy of its articles of organization, or a notice thereof, in two newspapers designated by the county clerk in the county where the office of the LLC is located.

Publication Timeline

• 120-Day Requirement: Publication must be completed within 120 days of filing the articles of organization
• Consecutive Weeks: Publication must occur once a week for six successive weeks
• Two Newspapers: Must publish in two newspapers designated by the county clerk

Affidavit Filing

• Affidavits of publication must be obtained from both newspapers
• Form 1708-f must be filed with the New York Department of State
• Filing must include both affidavits and appropriate fees

Our General Service Approach

Newspaper Selection Approach

• We attempt to work with newspapers that we believe are designated by county clerks
• We make reasonable efforts to verify newspaper status, but designations may change
• We may substitute newspapers at our discretion based on availability and circumstances
• We are not responsible if newspapers lose authorization or cease publication

Publication Content Approach

• We prepare notices based on information provided, but cannot verify its accuracy
• We include elements we believe may be required, but requirements may change
• Newspapers may modify content according to their standards
• We are not responsible for newspaper formatting decisions or errors

Documentation Approach

• We attempt to maintain records but make no guarantee of completeness
• We pursue affidavits from newspapers but cannot guarantee their provision
• Document availability depends on third-party cooperation
• We provide available documentation but cannot guarantee sufficiency

Our Efforts and Limitations

Pre-Publication Efforts

• We may attempt to verify information but rely on client accuracy
• Newspaper authorization status may change without notice
• Content review is limited and may miss errors or omissions
• County requirements may be misunderstood or change

Publication Monitoring Efforts

• Publication tracking depends on newspaper cooperation and accuracy
• Newspapers may fail to publish or publish incorrectly
• We cannot guarantee consecutive publication or proper timing
• Affidavit collection depends entirely on newspaper responsiveness

State Filing Efforts

• Documentation verification is limited and may be incomplete
• State procedures may change without notice
• Government agencies may reject filings for any reason
• Filing confirmation does not guarantee legal compliance

Regulatory Changes and Updates

New York State laws, regulations, and procedures may change. We monitor for updates to:

• LLC Law requirements and amendments
• Department of State filing procedures
• County clerk newspaper designations
• Form requirements and fee schedules

However, clients are responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance with current requirements, and we recommend consulting with legal counsel for specific compliance questions.

Third-Party Dependencies

Newspaper Partners

Our services depend on third-party newspapers over which we have limited control:

• Newspapers may change ownership, cease publication, or lose designation
• Publication schedules and rates are set by newspapers
• Formatting and editorial standards vary by publication
• Affidavit processing times depend on newspaper procedures

Government Agencies

State filing depends on government processing:

• Department of State processing times may vary
• Government agencies may request additional documentation
• Filing procedures and requirements may change
• System outages or delays may affect processing
