FORMING A CORPORATION IN FLORIDA
Incorporating your business in Florida has several advantages over incorporating in most other states. Most people think of Florida as a place filled with sunshine, palm trees, and dazzling winter vacations. But besides being a top tourist destination, Florida is also an extremely attractive place to do business.

If you own your own business, or if you're considering starting one, you owe it to yourself to find about the benefits of a Florida corporation. To begin with, the State of Florida has no personal income tax.

Regular corporations are levied with a 5.5% tax on federal taxable income over $5,000.

WHY INCORPORATING YOUR BUSINESS IN FLORIDA MAKES SENSE
Incorporating your business in Florida has several advantages over incorporating in most other states. Most people think of Florida as a place filled with sunshine, palm trees, and dazzling winter vacations. But besides being a top tourist destination, Florida is also an extremely attractive place to do business. If you own your own business, or if you're considering starting one, you owe it to yourself to find about the benefits of a Florida corporation.

To begin with, the State of Florida has no personal income tax. And while regular corporations are levied with a 5.5% tax on federal taxable income over $5,000, if you incorporate your Florida business and choose the "S" status, you can have your cake and eat it too! Florida "S" corporations aren't taxable entities. This means they're not required to file state income tax returns after the first year.

Unlike most states, Florida doesn't have minimum capital requirements for incorporating your business. So if you're just starting out and don't have a lot of money, you can still take advantage of incorporating without having to dump a lot of cash into your company. Some states require that your corporation be funded with a minimum of $1,000 in capital. Florida does not. Another benefit of incorporating in Florida is that it's simple to do and you don't have to involve many people in the process. For example, most states require your corporation to have more than one director and a different person for each corporate officer. But in Florida, the Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer can all be the same person! This makes it very easy for a small business to take advantage of the benefits of incorporation without all the hassle that usually goes along with it. Florida is very much becoming a "business friendly" state. It already has some of the lowest annual fees and fewest corporate reporting requirements in the US. And the best part of all? The shareholders, officers, and directors of a Florida corporation can remain anonymous if they so desire!

The Florida Secretary of State doesn't require a list of the names or addresses of directors, officers, or shareholders to be listed in the articles of incorporation. Since the State doesn't keep a record of who owns or controls your corporation, you can conduct business in Florida with complete privacy and discretion! One of the first decisions a new business owner must make after making the decision to incorporate is selecting the proper state for incorporation. While there is no best answer for every business, some states are better to incorporate in than others. And Florida is certainly one of the best choices.

But, of course, what's right for some isn't necessarily what's right for everyone. If you're considering incorporating your business, you owe it to yourself to examine all of the choices. Of course, since business laws are always subject to change, before making any legal or financial decisions, it's wise to always consult with an experienced and competent professional who knows about you and your unique circumstances.

FLORIDA LLC
FORMING A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY IN FLORIDA
A Florida LLC offers business developers and entrepreneurs like yourself a simple and flexible way to commence business in Florida. By forming a limited liability company in Florida, your new venture can exploit one of America's most vibrant and pro-business market places. Your Florida LLC formation will be well supported by the legal and accounting services professions as well as other businesses eager to conduct business with you.

When forming an LLC in Florida your new company formation satisfies a statutory requirement that you create a recognized corporate form which will qualify you to conduct business within the state. In so doing, your limited liability company in Florida qualifies for the protections offered under Florida state law with respect to separating out your Florida LLC members' personal assets (bank deposits, securities, auto, real property, etc.) from the future potential corporate liabilities associated with creditor litigation or attempts to lien or attach or liquidate assets in respect of a court judgment.

Florida LLC formation also creates outstanding flexibility with financial matters. For example, your Florida limited liability company can raise unlimited amounts of capital from an unlimited number of private investor-members, much like a Florida C corporation, without the 75-investor limit that the Florida Subchapter S corporate form maintains. By state and federal law, your Florida limited liability company can properly deduct qualifying costs and expenses, as well as depreciate or write off certain assets. Forming a LLC in Florida also results in tax exempt status, where your Florida limited liability company functions as a pass-through vehicle, and where individual members pay their own taxes. However, your Florida LLC must remain in good standing with the state in terms of corporate governance and basic filing obligations.

Florida LLC incorporation offers its members the further advantage of simplicity in corporate governance matters. Unlike the Florida Subchapter S or Florida C Corporation which must conduct annual meetings and produce written meeting minutes as part of their governance requirements, your Florida limited liability company has no such restrictions. Forming a LLC in Florida means that you can manage its affairs according to the guidelines set forth within your Florida limited liability company operating agreement. By forming a Florida limited liability company you obtain significant flexibility in creating your dividend policy, where LLC corporation profits can be declared and paid according to internal policy parameters rather than then dollar-per-share rule which governs earnings distributions by a Florida C corporation.

In forming a LLC in Florida, you and your members need to prepare a written abstract detailing your core business purpose, the names of your initial Florida limited liability members, the name and address of your Florida registered agent, the details of which will be introduced into the body of your LLC operating agreement. Your Florida limited liability company is based on the internal agreement of its founders.
