Florida is the state that forms the most limited liability companies over any other state.  This is a combination of Florida being a tax friendly, an asset protection friendly state, a pro business state, and one with lots of real estate activity (an LLC is the ideal vehicle for holding, developing, and/or renting property).

The Florida Limited Liability Company Act is also one of the first to be adopted in the US.  It has been constantly improved throughout the years.

Florida LLC Formation requires that a filing be prepared and submitted with the Department of State.  The filing must contain certain statutorily required information.  A Florida resident registered agent is also required to be appoint and continuously maintained.

The LLC Expert has a special Florida division dedicated to providing services for forming an  LLC in Florida.  Visit us where you can get Florida specific LLC information: http://www.FloridaLLCFormation.com

One of the unique benefits of a limited liability company over a sole proprietorship is longevity when it comes to the life of a business.

A sole proprietor is inextricably associated with the sole individual owner and so when that owner dies, the business really dies.  It becomes a bit of a legal nightmare to determine how to handle the business of a deceased owner.  Many times, because of this problem, thriving businesses face major issues and sometimes are forced to go out of business.

A limited liability company is a legal person separate and apart from its owners so its life and its ability to conduct and continue running its business operations are not affected by the capacity or death of any owner.

Just as you as an individual should always focus on longevity now for your body and overall health, you should always be thinking about what you can do for your business to ensure it remains healthy and self sufficient regardless of issues that may come up with owners or employees.

The first step is to operate your business through a separate entity such as an LLC.  Then, you should always have longevity principles and goals in mind when making decisions about your business and its operations.

Florida forms more limited liability company entities than any other state.  This is a combination of the state being very business, tax and asset protection friendly.

Florida was one of the earlier states to adopt a Limited Liability Company Act back in 1982 and since then, the Florida legislature has made several major changes to the laws to make it even more beneficial for business owners to operate through this type of legal entity.

It is quite inexpensive to form and maintain a Florida LLC.  Current filing fees to get one formed on an expedited basis are around $130 and annual fees are less than $100 a year if paid on time.
