ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says businesses in the state can now save time and money by filing their Certificates of Incorporation and Articles of Organization online.

The new online filing system allows the business filings to be processed in minutes rather than a week, and eliminates the need to pay an expedited processing fee. Cuomo said on Monday that by streamlining the process, it will lure entrepreneurs to do business in the state and create more jobs.

The online filing system is available Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. thorough the Department of State's Division of Corporations website.
