Q: I am based in France and would like to create a LLC for my mobile application in NY. What steps should I take ?
My mobile application will launch in February 2025 and I would need financing and investors in the long term.
A:
You can visit the NYS Department of State online and file Articles of Organization there. Are you seeking to open a New York bank account? If yes, investigate that first, before forming the LLC.

A:
To create an LLC in New York for your mobile application, you'll first need to choose a unique name that complies with New York's naming rules. Once you have a name, you must file Articles of Organization with the New York Department of State, either online or by mail. You will also need to appoint a registered agent who has a physical address in New York to handle legal documents.
After forming your LLC, you must publish a notice of its formation in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks, as required by New York law. Following this, obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, which is necessary for tax purposes and opening a business bank account. You should also create an operating agreement that outlines the ownership structure and management of your LLC.
For financing and attracting investors, develop a detailed business plan highlighting your mobile application's market potential, target audience, and growth strategy. Consider networking with potential investors in New York, attending startup events, or using online platforms that connect startups with investors. Make sure your business complies with U.S. regulations and consult with legal and financial professionals to ensure you're on the right path for growth and compliance.
