asked questions
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Florida?

What is a Florida registered agent (resident agent)?
Florida law (MCL 450.4207) 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 public the Florida Division of Corporations records.
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 $25. Missing two consecutive statements results in automatic dissolution. We send you a reminder every January.
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 (launched June 2025) accepts all online LLC filings. We use this system to file your Articles of Organization on your behalf.
