Publication is a very outdated requirement, but New York Limited Liability Company Law requires both NY LLCs and foreign LLCs doing business in the state to publish notice in two newspapers (one daily and one weekly) in the county where the LLC was formed.If you don’t publish notice of your LLC within 120 days of forming your LLC, NY will suspend your authority to do business in the state.
