What your registered agent plan includes.
Privacy protection — we file as organizer so your personal name stays off the public record. Compliance monitoring with 60, 30, and 7-day reminders designed to help you stay ahead of deadlines. Document scanning and forwarding. And a dedicated local team you can actually reach. $99.89/yr for registered agent. Same price at renewal.

Three steps. We handle the details so you can focus on building your business.
Choose Your Plan
Pick the package that fits your needs. Registered agent only, or full formation with EIN and operating agreement. Everything is transparent, no hidden fees.
We Handle the Filing — Our Name, Not Yours
We prepare and file your Articles of Organization with the Florida Secretary of State. Because we file on your behalf, our name goes on the paperwork as the organizer — not yours. Most of our clients have everything back in less than 24 hours.
Your LLC Is Active. You're Protected.
Your Florida LLC is official. We filed as organizer on your behalf, so your personal name was not included on the state filing. Your registered agent is in place. You're ready to open a bank account and start operating.

Why Form Your LLC in Florida?
Florida is the go-to formation state for entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and remote workers — no state income tax, strong asset protection statutes, and a business climate built for growth.
Maximum Privacy
Florida technically allows member information to be omitted at formation in the first year, but banks require it when opening a business account and the state mandates it on annual reports starting in year two. Our process collects this information upfront so your account opens the first time you walk into a bank.
Zero State Income Tax
Florida does not impose a state personal income tax on individuals — LLC profits pass through to your federal return (consult a licensed CPA for your specific situation). Florida is consistently one of the top states for entrepreneurs and real estate investors looking to minimize their state-level tax burden.
Asset Protection
Florida LLC statutes provide charging order protection and permit single-member LLCs. Florida's asset protection framework is designed to help keep business assets separated from personal liability. Consult a licensed Florida attorney for advice specific to your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most about Florida LLCs.
How do I form an LLC in Florida?
When you choose our Complete or Professional plan, we file your Articles of Organization with the Florida Division of Corporations, appoint your registered agent, and deliver all documents. Most clients have their LLC approved within one to two business days.
Does Florida have a state income tax?
Florida does not impose a state personal income tax on individuals. This is one of the primary reasons entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and retirees choose to base their businesses in Florida. Consult a licensed CPA for tax advice specific to your situation.
What does a Florida annual report cost?
Florida LLCs must file an annual report by May 1 each year. The current state filing fee is posted on the Florida Division of Corporations fee schedule — we display the verified amount at checkout. A $400 late fee applies if filed after May 1, and failure to file results in administrative dissolution. Our compliance calendar keeps you ahead of the deadline.
Are Florida LLC member names public record?
Florida technically allows members to omit their information in the first year of formation, but banks require it when opening a business account and the state mandates it on the annual report starting in year two. Our policy is to collect this information upfront to avoid any delays with your banking or compliance.
What is a Florida registered agent?
A registered agent receives legal documents and official state correspondence for your LLC. Florida requires every LLC to have a registered agent with a physical Florida street address. A PO Box does not qualify.
Can someone from outside Florida form a Florida LLC?
Yes. Florida has no residency requirement for forming an LLC. You simply need a Florida-based registered agent, which we provide with every plan.
As of March 2026, the federal Corporate Transparency Act reporting requirement has been suspended for domestic LLCs. You do not need to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report for your Florida LLC.
We Track Your Deadlines So You Don’t Have To
Annual reports, filing renewals, compliance reminders — every plan includes automatic deadline tracking at 60, 30, and 7 days before each filing is due. Others charge $69–$299/year extra for this. Ours is included.
Automatic Reminders
We notify you well before deadlines designed to help you stay ahead of filings and late penalties.
Annual Report Filing
Add annual report filing to any plan for $99 and we handle the paperwork and state fees on your behalf.
Good Standing Made Simple
Stay compliant without memorizing state rules. We keep your LLC in good standing year after year.
From Our Clients
The best measure of our service is the trust our clients place in us.
"They told me 48 hours but I had everything back in less than a day. My name doesn't show up on any public filing, which was the whole point for me. Honestly for $99 a year with the compliance calendar included, it's a no brainer."
"I kept putting this off because I thought forming an LLC was going to be this whole big thing. It really wasn't. They took care of everything and I didn't have to figure out any of it. Kicking myself for not doing it sooner."
"I needed my home address off of anything connected to my business. That was the big thing for me. They set me up with a real business address, handle all my state documents, and I don't have to think about it. Best money I've spent on my business, hands down."

Why Florida for your LLC?
Florida is the fastest-growing major economy in the Southeast, and the combination of no state income tax on individuals, a deep snowbird consumer base, and an efficient online filing portal (Sunbiz.org) makes it one of the most commonly chosen states for a domestic LLC. Formation is inexpensive and the Division of Corporations typically processes electronic filings within two to three business days.
The nuance every Florida founder should understand comes from the 2010 Florida Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. FTC, which treated a single-member LLC's membership interest differently than a multi-member one for creditor-remedy purposes. In plain English: charging-order protection for a Florida single-member LLC is weaker than it is for a multi-member LLC. Many operators who care about asset protection structure their Florida LLC with a second legitimate member (often a spouse or a trust) from day one, rather than retrofitting later. This should be discussed with a licensed Florida attorney.
- No personal state income tax — and no tax on intangible personal property since 2007.
- Annual Report due by May 1 — late filings trigger a $400 penalty that is not waived for first-time offenders.
- FDUTPA and a 4-year statute of limitations on most consumer-facing claims — plan your records-retention accordingly.
- Sunbiz.org is the Division of Corporations' public-search portal — member information, if listed, is searchable by anyone.
Florida is easy to enter and easy to forget to maintain. We are designed to make the second part not happen.
When is the Florida annual report due and what happens if I miss it?
Every Florida LLC must file its Annual Report through Sunbiz.org between January 1 and May 1. Miss the deadline and the state applies a flat $400 late fee that cannot be waived — even if you file the same afternoon. Continued non-filing leads to administrative dissolution by the fourth Friday of September. Our compliance calendar is built around that May 1 date from day one.
Is it true that a Florida single-member LLC has weaker asset protection?
The 2010 Olmstead ruling opened a path for creditors of a sole member to reach LLC assets more directly than in multi-member structures. Many practitioners address this by forming with a legitimate second member (spouse, trust, or business partner) from the outset. This is a structural decision that should be made with a licensed Florida attorney who understands your facts.
Getting Started in Florida
Your order is prepared for direct e-filing through the Florida Division of Corporations at Sunbiz.org. Electronic filings typically post within 2–3 business days. Once approved, you'll receive your stamped Articles of Organization, an EIN (on Complete and Professional plans), a Florida operating agreement drafted with the Olmstead structural considerations in mind, your registered agent appointment, and a compliance calendar keyed to the May 1 Annual Report deadline.
