Security & Privacy

Yes. We use 256-bit encrypted forms (Jotform) and comply with NYLLTA standards. Your sensitive data is used only for filing and is permanently deleted from our active records once the process is complete.
Why do you need a physical address in Staten Island?
New York law requires every LLC to have a Registered Agent with a physical street address. We provide this to protect your home address privacy and ensure you never miss a legal notice.
Compliance Requirements

Starting in 2026, the federal government (FinCEN) requires almost all LLCs to file a Beneficial Ownership Information report. Failure to file can result in penalties of up to $606 per day.
