What Is the NY Biennial Statement?
Every LLC in New York must file a Biennial Statement every two years with the NY Department of State. The due date is the anniversary month of your LLC’s formation. The filing fee is $9 — truly one of the cheapest government fees you’ll ever encounter.
What Happens If You Miss It?
Failing to file results in your LLC being marked “past due.” Continued non-compliance leads to administrative dissolution — your LLC loses its good standing and its ability to legally conduct business. Reinstatement requires back fees and paperwork.
What Information Is Required?
The state pre-fills a form and mails it to your registered agent with your LLC’s principal address, registered agent info, and manager/member names. You review, confirm, pay $9, and you’re done for two more years.
$9 Every Two Years. Don’t Let That $9 Cost You Everything.
Nine dollars. That’s what it costs to keep your New York LLC in good standing every two years. It’s less than a glass of wine at most Manhattan bars. It’s less than a MetroCard round trip. And yet, every year, New York LLCs get administratively dissolved because the owner didn’t get the biennial statement notice — usually because it was mailed to an old address or a registered agent they’d long stopped checking.
Here’s how it goes wrong: you form your LLC, you’re busy building the actual business, two years slip by, the state mails a reminder to your registered agent’s address (which you put as your home address when you filed), you moved, you never got it, and now your LLC is suspended. You can’t sign contracts, can’t open bank accounts, can’t enforce agreements in court — all because of a $9 filing you didn’t know was due.
Corp Nation’s registered agent service exists precisely to prevent this. We receive every piece of mail your LLC gets from the state. We scan it, forward it to you digitally, and flag anything that needs action. When your biennial statement is due, we’ll remind you — multiple times — well before the deadline.
But beyond the reminders, think about what good standing actually means. It’s not just a checkbox. It’s the difference between being able to sign a lease for your first real office, getting approved for an SBA loan, and bringing on an investor who does due diligence and finds your LLC is administratively dissolved. Good standing is credibility. It’s proof that your business is real, maintained, and worth trusting.
For $149, Corp Nation handles your formation and keeps watch on your compliance calendar indefinitely. That $9 biennial statement will never slip past you again.
