LLC Formation Services in Florida, Done for You
We form your Florida LLC or corporation and set it up to operate: the entity decision, the Sunbiz filing, the federal EIN for your LLC, the S corporation election when it saves tax, sales tax registration, and a BOI check. A filing website stops at the paperwork. As an Enrolled Agent in Miami, we do the paperwork and the tax setup behind it.
Formation Plus the Tax Setup Behind It
Business formation is the legal process of establishing your company: choosing an entity, registering it with the state, and getting the federal and state numbers you need to operate. The structure you pick shapes your taxes, your personal liability, and how you raise money, so it is worth getting right the first time.
Anyone can file articles with the state. What a Miami Enrolled Agent adds is the judgment around the filing: which entity fits your goals, whether an S corporation election lowers your tax, whether you have to register for sales tax, and how to keep your first year clean. We handle the Florida registration and the setup together, so your company is not just registered, it is ready to operate.
What's Included
Your Formation, Handled End to End
One firm takes you from the entity decision to a company that can open a bank account, hire, and file, without you assembling the pieces yourself.
Entity Selection
We weigh LLC, S corporation, C corporation, nonprofit, and sole proprietor against your goals, liability, and tax picture, then register the one that fits.
Sunbiz Registration
We prepare and file your Articles of Organization or Incorporation with the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), correctly the first time.
Registered Agent
Every Florida company must keep a registered agent on file. We guide the designation so your legal and state mail always reaches you.
Federal EIN
We obtain your Employer Identification Number from the IRS, even without a Social Security Number, so you can open a bank account, hire, and file.
S Corporation Election
When an S election lowers your tax, we file Form 2553 on time and set up the reasonable-salary payroll that makes the savings real.
Sales Tax Registration
If you sell taxable goods or services, we register you with the Florida Department of Revenue on Form DR-1 so you can collect and remit from day one.
First-Year Books and Tax Setup
We set up your bookkeeping and your filing calendar so your first year is organized and every federal and Florida deadline is on the map.
BOI Reporting Check
Beneficial ownership rules have shifted repeatedly. We confirm whether a FinCEN BOI report currently applies to your company before you rely on it.
Business Structures
Choose the Right Structure
A quick, plain-language look at the five most common options.
- Sole Proprietorship
One person owns and runs the business with maximum autonomy and minimal paperwork. Income and expenses are reported on your personal return using Schedule C.
The tradeoff is unlimited personal liability: your personal assets are exposed to business debts and obligations. It is simple to start and simple to wind down.
- LLC
A limited liability company gives owners (members) personal-asset protection similar to a corporation, with a flexible management structure you can adapt to the business.
By default an LLC is not taxed at the business level. Profits and losses pass through to members' personal returns, which can simplify filing and reduce tax.
As a pass-through, LLC owners may qualify for the federal Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction. Eligibility and limits apply, so we confirm them for your situation.
- Corporation (C Corp or S Corp)
A corporation is a separate legal entity that shields owners from business debts and can raise capital by issuing stock.
An S Corp passes income through to shareholders to avoid double taxation, with limits: up to 100 U.S. shareholders and one class of stock. A C Corp is the standard structure: profits are taxed at the corporate level and again on dividends, but it allows unlimited shareholders, multiple stock classes, and deductible fringe benefits, which suits larger or fast-growing companies.
- Nonprofit
A nonprofit corporation exists to advance a mission rather than profit owners. It can apply for federal and state tax-exempt status, and contributions may be tax-deductible for donors.
It is governed by a board, relies on diverse funding (donations, grants, program fees), and is held to higher transparency and reporting standards.
- Doing Business As (DBA)
A DBA lets you operate under a name different from your legal or registered name. It is also called a fictitious, trade, or assumed business name.
It is useful for branding, expanding into new offerings, and presenting a professional identity, and may be required when your trade name differs from your own.
State Fees
Florida State Fees, Passed Straight Through
These are the state's own fees, separate from what we charge for the work. We tell you the current amounts before anything is filed and pay them to the state on your behalf.
- Formation Filing
Florida charges $100.00 to file the Articles of Organization for an LLC plus a $25.00 registered agent designation, paid to the Florida Division of Corporations. Corporations and other entities carry their own state filing fees.
- Annual Report
Florida requires an annual report to keep an LLC active, currently $138.75 each year. It is a state fee, separate from our fee, and state fees can change, so we confirm the current amount before filing.
