Purpose-built for New York massage therapy

LMT entities face extra scrutiny — State Board pre-approval, strict naming, county publication, and the documents banks, landlords, and venues expect. We form PLLCs that reflect massage therapy scope, support studio and mobile/on-site models, and scale as you add therapists or locations.

NYSED Pre-Approval, Done Right
We package your submission for the State Board for Massage Therapy — scope-appropriate purpose language and governance aligned to professional practice rules.
Naming That Passes Review
Avoid restricted or misleading terms (e.g., “clinic,” “medical,” or claims beyond scope). We propose compliant, brand-forward options that clear NYSED faster. See naming conventions.
Precise Articles & State Filings
Articles tailored to massage therapy — studio and mobile/on-site — filed correctly with NYSED and the Department of State, with milestone updates throughout.
Required Publishing — Included

Massage Therapy PLLC FAQs

Practical answers for New York LMTs — ownership, naming, mobile/on-site service, spa/gym contracting, publishing, and timelines.

Do LMTs need NYSED pre-approval before forming a PLLC?

Yes. Massage Therapy entities are reviewed by NYSED’s Office of the Professions (State Board for Massage Therapy) before the Department of State accepts formation. We package your pre-approval (name, scope/purpose, ownership) to reduce objections and delays.

Who may own or manage a Massage Therapy PLLC in New York?

Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals who can lawfully provide the PLLC’s services. For massage therapy, that typically means LMTs. We help align members/managers with New York’s professional practice rules.

What naming rules should Massage Therapy practices watch for?

Names must include the professional designator (e.g., “PLLC”), be professional, and avoid restricted or misleading terms (e.g., “clinic,” “medical,” or claims outside massage therapy scope) without additional approvals. See naming conventions for common pitfalls.

Can I run a mobile or home-based massage business under a PLLC?

Many LMTs operate mobile, on-site corporate/event, or home-based services. Formation supports these models; you must still follow local permits, facility rules, insurance requirements, and NY scope of practice. We craft purpose language that supports in-studio and mobile/on-site care within NY.

Can my PLLC contract with spas, gyms, or chiropractors/clinics?

Yes, many LMTs contract with third-party locations. Contracting terms are separate from formation. We provide a bank-ready document set and governance that works with common independent contractor or space-use arrangements; for complex employment/contract issues, consult legal counsel.

Is the six-week, two-newspaper publication included?

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

What documents do I receive for banking, leasing, and vendor onboarding?

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

How long does a Massage Therapy PLLC typically take?

Timelines vary. NYSED pre-approval can add weeks or months depending on review volume; publication then requires six consecutive weeks. We begin immediately, set realistic timelines, and keep you updated at each milestone.
