What forms do I need to file to register a business in New York?

Asked a year ago
To register a business in New York, you will typically need to file certain forms. The specific forms required depend on the type and structure of the business. For example, if you are starting a sole proprietorship, you may only need to file a Certificate of Assumed Name (DBA) with the county clerk's office. On the other hand, if you are establishing a corporation, you will likely need to file a Certificate of Incorporation with the New York Department of State. Similarly, partnerships may require a Certificate of Partnership. Additionally, all businesses must register for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) with the IRS. It is recommended to consult the New York Secretary of State's official website or seek professional advice to ensure you are filing the correct forms for your specific business.
