​New York LLC cost

Hey everyone.

I’m looking into forming an LLC in New York city and trying to get a realistic sense of the costs. I know the state filing fees are high, plus there’s the annual publication requirement, registered agent fees. Are there any other hidden costs?

Has anyone gone through LLC creation in New york recently and can break down what you actually paid from start to finish? Even if you used an LLC service, I would love to know what it cost you.

I’m working on a side project and would love some feedback. I’m thinking of starting a custom tea blending service. Customers could choose from a selection of loose-leaf teas, herbs, spices, and we’d create personalized blends shipped directly to their door. I’m imagining it could appeal top tea enthusiasts and people looking for unique gift options.

Thanks in advance.
