An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a popular business structure that combines liability protection with flexible management options. Articles of incorporation are formal documents filed with the state to legally create a corporation. Understanding these terms helps business owners make informed decisions about their company’s structure and legal standing.
The business formation process includes selecting a business name, preparing necessary documents like articles of incorporation or LLC operating agreements, filing these with the New York Department of State, and obtaining any required licenses or permits.

Familiarity with common terminology related to business formation can simplify the process and help you understand your obligations and rights as a business owner. Below are definitions of key terms frequently encountered during business formation.
An LLC is a business structure that provides limited liability protection to its owners, shielding personal assets from business debts or lawsuits while allowing flexible management and tax options.
These are official documents filed with the state government to create a corporation. They include information such as the corporation’s name, purpose, and structure.
An operating agreement is a document that outlines the ownership and operating procedures of an LLC. Though not always required by law, it is important for defining roles and responsibilities.
A registered agent is a designated individual or entity authorized to receive legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of a business.
Business owners may choose from several structures, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations. Each has different legal and tax implications. We help you evaluate these options to select the formation type best suited to your business goals and risk tolerance.
If your business model is straightforward and you do not anticipate complex ownership or operational needs, basic filing of formation documents may be adequate to get started without extensive legal planning.
For businesses with minimal liability exposure or limited assets, minimal documentation and filing support might meet your immediate needs while you establish your operations.
