Bermuda Exempt CompanyFlorida USA Limited Liability Company (LLC) Formation

Florida is an attractive jurisdiction in which to incorporate as sales tax applies only to products sold within Florida and, unlike many other US states, there is no Personal Income Tax. Furthermore, the relaxed reporting standards meaning companies registered in Florida are not required to file annual accounts and directors and shareholders both benefit from a high degree of privacy.

Company names must be unique and not deceptively similar to other company names registered in Florida. We are able to check that your proposed company name is appropriate. LLC company names must end with ‘Limited Liability Company’, ‘Limited Company’ or an appropriate abbreviation such as ‘LLC’ or ‘LC’. The word ‘Limited’ alone may not be used.

Companies require a registered agent and a registered office where the Secretary of State and other official parties may send legal documents. Companies are not obliged to have their registered office in Florida.
