Understanding Limited Liability Companies
An LLC, or limited liability company, is a business structure that provides business owners with liability protection while offering more management and tax flexibility than a corporation. LLCs are a popular and convenient choice for small business owners in Florida.
But why not skip the paperwork and stick to a sole proprietorship? To begin with, a sole proprietorship must be operated under you own actual name unless you first register a fictitious business name.
Beyond that, starting an LLC in Florida comes with three major benefits:
As long as you maintain a clear separation between your personal assets and your business assets, having an LLC helps prevent others from holding you personally liable for your company’s debt.
Unlike corporations, LLCs are taxed as “pass-through” entities. This means your company’s net income “passes through” to you. You report that income on your individual tax returns and pay zero personal income tax.
With an LLC, YOU get to choose your management structure. You can run your business using a very hands-on approach (member-managed) or delegate responsibilities to designated managers (manager-managed).
Advantages of Forming an LLC in Florida
The future is bright in the Sunshine State! With the highest-ranked¹ state growth rate of all fifty states, Florida is an excellent place to start your company. The state’s diverse economy includes industries ranging from aviation and aerospace (hello, Kennedy Space Center!) to manufacturing and life sciences to supermarkets and grocery stores—all those oranges have got to go somewhere after all! Its $1.6 trillion dollar economy makes it the 16th largest globally, and it boasts a number of other top-tier accolades² for entrepreneurship, attracting and developing talent, and extensive infrastructure.
Florida is also among the top states in the nation for state tax competitiveness. With no personal income tax, a relatively low corporate income tax rate of just 5.5%, and a sales tax rate lower than many other southern states³, it’s an attractive option for small business owners looking to establish themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to some of the most popular questions about Florida LLCs.
Do I hire you before or after I file?
＋Hire us now. Your Articles will not be accepted unless you have appointed a Florida registered agent.
Plus, we can help you protect your privacy in Florida. If we handle the filing for you, we can use our name and Florida business address on your Articles to keep your private information out of the public record.
How do you sign my Articles of Organization?
＋When you hire us as your registered agent, you will find pre-signed Articles of Organization in your online account. If you’re filing online, we will give you a name to use in Sunbiz, the state department’s online filing system.
When I form an LLC in Florida, is my name part of the public record?
＋Eventually. When you originally form your company, you’re allowed to list the name of an authorized representative on your articles, so it’s possible for your name to stay off of the public record for your first year of business. This is what we do when we form a Florida LLC for our clients, and we even include the free use of our Florida business address, too.
Can I form an anonymous LLC in Florida?
＋Unfortunately, you cannot form an anonymous LLC in Florida. However, you can form a Double (Private) LLC, where you create two LLCs that manage each other. Order our Double LLC Package, and we’ll form two LLCs for you and allow you to use our permanent business address so you can keep yours off the public record.
How can I get a DBA for my LLC?
＋Also called a fictitious business name or a Florida DBA (doing-business-as), you can select our Trade Name Service at checkout or from within your client account. For $353 including state fees, we’ll register your trade name for your business.
Florida is one of only a handful of states that still requires businesses that have registered new trade names to publish an official notice in a local newspaper. We take care of this for you when you hire us to file your trade name, saving you time and frustration (and potentially higher publication costs than our locality offers). However, if you’d rather handle the publication yourself, you can just hire us to file your DBA for only $175.
Keep in mind trade names must be renewed every five years!
