LLC in Florida

Asset Protection for Florida LLCs

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) can be beneficial for any small business owner operating in Florida who wants to separate and protect their personal assets from their business debts and obligations. Only one initial member or manager is required for the formation of a Florida LLC, and they need not be a U.S. citizen or a resident of Florida.

Florida LLC Annual Requirements

A Florida Limited Liability Company files an annual report with the Department of State between January 1 and May 1. LLCs do not receive an annual report form from the state's office; instead, the Department of State mails a postcard to the mailing address designated by the LLC on state records. Annual reports can be filed online at http://www.sunbiz.org/, or business owners can download a pre-printed annual report form online. The fee to file an LLC annual report in Florida is currently $50.00. Florida businesses may also be responsible for taxes assessed by the Department of Revenue.

Operating in Multiple States

If you do business in multiple states or plan to transact outside the state where you form your LLC, you will most likely need to qualify to do business in another state.  LLC.com can assist you in forming an LLC in Florida and registering to operate in additional states as needed -- click here for more information about our qualification services.

When to Research Further

For some customers, forming a Florida LLC is a first step to obtaining Workers' Compensation Exemption (SB 50A). LLC.com does not assist in obtaining this exemption through the Florida Division of Workers Compensation, but the application form is available here.
