Business formation documentation refers to the official forms and filings necessary to establish a new business entity legally. This includes documents like the Articles of Organization for LLCs and Articles of Incorporation for corporations. These documents provide the state with key information about your business, such as its name, purpose, management structure, and registered agent.

Additional steps may include drafting internal agreements and obtaining necessary licenses or permits. Proper documentation lays the groundwork for legal compliance and operational success.
Understanding key legal terms can help clarify the business formation process. Below are definitions of common terms related to forming an LLC or corporation in New York.
The Articles of Incorporation is a formal document filed with the state to legally create a corporation. It outlines essential details such as the company name, purpose, stock structure, and the names of the incorporators.
An Operating Agreement is a key internal document for LLCs that outlines the ownership structure, management responsibilities, and operating procedures. While not always required by law, it is highly recommended to prevent disputes.
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that offers liability protection to its owners while allowing flexible management and tax options. It is a popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses.
A Registered Agent is the individual or business entity designated to receive official legal and tax documents on behalf of the company. The agent must have a physical address in the state of formation.

Each has different legal requirements and benefits, so understanding these differences is important before filing your formation documents.
