Florida advantages

Forming a limited liability company in Florida

The Sunshine State carries potential for small business owners seeking asset protection. A Florida LLC combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax treatment and ease of administration of a partnership.

Forming an LLC in Florida also offers:

Pass-through taxation

LLCs typically enjoy pass-through taxation where the members (owners) report their share of the LLC’s profit or loss on their individual tax returns. Any tax due is then paid at the individual level. Multi-member LLCs file an informational (partnership) tax return for the LLC, while single-member LLCs report all income or loss on Schedule C. Pass-through taxation sidesteps the double taxation incurred by C corporations when income is taxed at the corporate level and again at the individual level if corporate profits are distributed as dividends to owners (shareholders).

Flexibility

LLCs generally have no restrictions on the number of members allowed, and members have flexibility in structuring management of the company. Florida LLCs can also select varying types of distribution of profits. Unlike a common partnership where the split is 50-50, an LLC has room for much more flexibility.

Fewer formalities

The LLC business entity requires no corporate minutes or resolutions, making it easier to manage. Holding annual meetings of members and documenting major business decisions is still recommended, however.

Subsidiaries

Unlike Florida S corporations, Florida LLCs are allowed to have subsidiaries without restriction.

Limited Liability Company (LLC) – a business type with several advantages

The LLC advantage

Why is Florida a great state to incorporate in?

What is a Florida corporation and what are the benefits?

A corporation is regarded as a separate legal entity and will normally shield its owners from personal responsibility for business losses. Whereas in a partnership or sole proprietorship the owner’s personal assets can be used to pay debts of the business.

A Florida corporation has a life of its own and does not dissolve when ownership changes. In addition, although a corporation may have multiple owners, this is not required and one person may individually establish and own a corporation.

When incorporated, you can also raise capital by selling stock. Health benefits and retirement funds can be easily set up for officers and employees which are then deducted from the corporation. If you can elect S corporation status, you can avoid double taxation.

We provide the smartest, most efficient way to incorporate or form a LLC in Florida. Unlike many other incorporation services, which file to obtain your Corporate I.D. number and supply you with a litany of forms to complete, we provide an all-inclusive start-up package.

We make sure that your Florida LLC or corporation is up and running as quickly as possible, in full compliance with state and federal law. We offer expert counsel, a full set of customized corporate documents and instruction on how to follow future corporate formalities (proper legal compliance is essential in the event of an audit or law suit).
