Common questions
Florida LLC frequently
asked questions
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Florida?
Florida charges a $125 state filing fee for your Articles of Organization. Our Basic plan is $164.99 total — $39.99 service fee plus the $125 state fee. Standard is $204.99 and includes a year of registered agent service. Pro is $254.99 with your EIN filed for you and a personalized operating agreement.
How long does Florida LLC formation take?
Florida's Sunbiz approves standard online filings in 3–5 business days. Florida doesn't offer a paid expedite — online filing is the fast path, and we submit the same or next business day.
What is a Florida registered agent (resident agent)?
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 605.0113) requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent — a person or business with a physical Florida address available Mon–Fri to receive legal documents. We serve as your agent so your home address stays off the public record at the Division of Corporations.
What is Florida's annual report?
Florida LLCs must file an Annual Report with the Division of Corporations by May 1 each year. The state fee is $138.75. File late and the state adds a $400 penalty; an LLC still unfiled by the fourth Friday of September is administratively dissolved. We send you a reminder every January, when filing opens.
Do I need an operating agreement for my Florida LLC?
Florida doesn't legally require one, but every LLC should have one. It defines ownership percentages, profit splits, and member responsibilities. Without one, Florida's default LLC statutes govern your business.
Can I form a Florida LLC online?
Yes — Florida's Sunbiz portal accepts all LLC filings online. We use this system to file your Articles of Organization on your behalf.
I already have an LLC — can you just be my registered agent?
Yes. We can take over as your registered agent for $99/yr. We handle the Statement of Change of Registered Agent filing with the Division of Corporations (the state charges $25, which we cover). Contact us to get started.
What Florida cities do you serve?
We form LLCs for businesses across all of Florida — Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Sarasota, Naples, Gainesville, and everywhere in between. The whole process is online.
