How To Start A Business In Florida

Entrepreneurship in Florida

Opening In Florida

Florida natives have invented everything from the first computer to sunscreen. And thanks to John Gorrie’s advancements in air conditioning we can stay cool, and still enjoy the heat of Florida.

 

 

With people like Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), and the scientists from Florida University (who created Gatorade for the school’s football team) to look up to, the people of Florida love to lead entrepreneurial teams that change the world.

 

 

As the birthplace of NASCAR and spring break, and as a popular tourist destination, the sunshine state is a great place to start your small business.

 

 

Registering Your Business

Registering In Florida

Registering your business is one of the first steps to success.

 

 

And with Florida’s 125 dollar fee for starting an LLC, it's important you get it right.

 

 

Decide what kind of model is right for you (LLP, LLC, Corporation, Sole Proprietorship). Most small businesses start with an LLC. If you’d like an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp done for you, we’d be happy to do that on your behalf.
