Articles of Incorporation are formal documents filed with the state to legally create a corporation. They include information such as the company name, purpose, stock details, and registered agent. LLC documents outline the formation and operational framework for a Limited Liability Company, including member roles and management structure. Both are critical to legally establishing and operating your business entity in New York.
The process begins with selecting a unique business name and determining your entity type. Next, the required documents—such as Articles of Incorporation for corporations or Articles of Organization for LLCs—are drafted with all necessary details. These are then submitted to state authorities. Depending on your business type, additional filings such as operating agreements or bylaws may be needed to complete the formation process.
Understanding key terminology is vital when forming your business. Familiarity with these terms helps you make informed decisions and ensures that your documents comply with legal standards.

LLCs often benefit from pass-through taxation, meaning profits and losses pass directly to owners’ personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation common with some corporations. This can simplify tax reporting and potentially reduce tax burdens. However, the best tax structure depends on your specific circumstances, so it’s important to evaluate all options carefully.
