When does my publication window close?
NY LLC Law §206 gives a new LLC 120 days from the day its Articles of Organization were filed to publish in two designated newspapers and file the Certificate of Publication. This clock uses the same arithmetic our order system stamps on real orders.
Your 120-day window
THE CLOCK
Day zero is the filing date
Not the day you got the receipt, opened the bank account, or started trading — the day the Articles were filed with the Department of State.
THE MISS
Suspension, not dissolution
Past 120 days the state suspends the LLC's authority to carry on business. The company still exists — but contracts, accounts, and courtrooms get complicated.
THE CURE
It is never too late
Completing publication and filing the certificate cures the suspension retroactively, at any time. Late by a month or five years, the fix is the same six weeks.
