What Is an LLC?
An LLC is a popular business structure that combines elements of corporations and partnerships/sole proprietorships. It is relatively easy to form and maintain.
Not to mention, LLCs offer several benefits, including the following:
Limited Liability
One of the main reasons people choose to form an LLC is its liability protection (hence the name). The personal assets of an LLC's members, such as homes or cars, are typically shielded from legal actions that creditors and others may take against the company. In other words, should your LLC be the subject of a lawsuit or accrue debt, you will not be personally responsible for these liabilities.
Pass-Through Taxation
Unlike corporations, where profits are taxed at corporate and individual levels, LLCs qualify for pass-through taxation. As such, profits are only taxed as part of the owner's income tax return. The result is tax savings that you may not be able to get with other business structures.
How to Form an LLC in Florida
The steps involved in forming an LLC generally include:
- Choosing a business name that complies with Florida's naming requirements
- Filing articles of organization with the Florida Division of Corporations
- Appointing a registered agent who will be responsible for receiving legal documents on behalf of the LLC
- Drafting an operating agreement that outlines the LLC’s management and ownership, as well as its financial and operational policies
- Obtaining any necessary licenses and permits required for your specific business activities
- Registering for state taxes and obtaining an employer identification number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Although forming an LLC may seem relatively straightforward, it can become complicated very quickly. This is why the direction of an experienced attorney, such as ours at Salas Law Firm, is beneficial. Our team can make certain you complete and submit all necessary paperwork, adhere to relevant deadlines, and avoid setbacks that could compromise your business. Plus, we can deliver ongoing support as you and your LLC members endeavor to make your company a success.
