Form your Engineering PLLC in New York — built for modern PE practice

Yes. Engineering entities are typically reviewed by NYSED’s Office of the Professions (State Board for Engineering & Land Surveying) before the Department of State will accept formation. We assemble a PE-specific pre-approval package — name, scope/purpose, and ownership — to reduce objections and delays.

Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals who can lawfully provide the entity’s services. For an Engineering PLLC, that typically means licensed Professional Engineers (PEs). We help align members/managers with New York’s professional practice rules.

PLLC ownership is generally restricted to licensees. Some New York firms consider alternative professional structures (e.g., D.P.C. or P.C.) with different ownership rules. Our service focuses on PLLCs; we can outline high-level trade-offs and suggest resources if you’re evaluating other entity types.

NYSED closely reviews uses of “engineer,” “engineering,” “consulting engineers,” and terms implying other licensed professions. Names must include the required designator (e.g., “PLLC”), be professional, and avoid restricted or misleading terms without approvals. See naming conventions for common pitfalls.

Purpose language should reflect authorized services and typical disciplines (e.g., civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, geotechnical) without over-reaching into other licensed scopes. We draft discipline-accurate statements that align with NYSED expectations.

Yes. We coordinate county-designated publication, manage proofs and affidavits, and file the Certificate of Publication — fully included in the $885 flat fee.

You receive EIN confirmation, filed Articles of Organization, publication affidavits, and the Certificate of Publication — the standard bank-ready set commonly requested by banks, landlords, vendors, and procurement teams.

Many firms add locations and serve clients across New York. We structure your formation to support growth and explain county publication implications if you open offices in additional counties later.

Entity formation does not change professional responsibilities. Sealing, responsible charge, supervision, and QA/QC remain governed by professional rules. We align governance with how your firm assigns project responsibility.

Timelines vary. NYSED pre-approval can add weeks or months depending on volume; newspaper publication requires six consecutive weeks. We start quickly, provide realistic timelines, and keep you updated at each milestone.
