In short
Opening a staffing agency in New York City means a New York entity, state unemployment insurance and withholding registration, workers' compensation cover, and enough working capital to carry payroll while clients pay on terms. Employment agencies operating in the five boroughs are licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, a requirement that does not exist elsewhere in the state.
