The advantages of incorporating or forming an LLC in Florida:
Corporations (Inc.)
Incorporation provides you with limited liability. Limited liability shields the shareholders and company principals of Florida corporations from personal liability in almost all cases.
Florida corporations also have a continuous life. Florida corporations continue regardless of changes in ownership. Shareholders of Florida corporations can and probably will change often, but the continuation of Florida State corporations will not be affected by this change.
Forming a Florida corporation will provide your business with a more professional appearance. Florida corporations can proudly display their Inc. initials after their name, illustrating their official stamp of approval from the State of Florida Division of Corporations.
Florida State corporations can deduct certain expenses from their reportable income. These deductions can include salaries and contributions to benefit plans, such as retirement and health plans.
The Florida Department of Corporations only requires 1 director, so the same person can be a Director, the President, Treasurer and Secretary. Many other states require more than one director and require that all of the officers be different people.
The State of Florida Division of Corporations does not keep records of who owns stock in a Florida corporation.
The State of Florida Division of Corporations allows corporations (other than licensed professionals (eg. Lawyers, doctors)) to perform all lawful business activities.
Some advantages of Limited Liability Companies are:
1. Tax Advantages: Florida LLCs have "pass-through" tax status, which avoids the double-taxation issues of C corporations. A C corporation must pay taxes on its income and individuals must pay taxes on the dividends they receive from the corporation. This can lead to double taxation on dividends that are paid out of corporate profits to the owners. Members of LLCs report the LLC's profits and losses directly on their tax returns, therefore they are only taxed once.
2. Limitation of Liability: Similar to Florida State corporations, LLCs shield personal assets from business debt. LLC members typically will not be liable for the debts and obligations of the LLC because, in most cases, the LLC is viewed as a separate entity in the eyes of the law.
3. Fewer Formalities: The Florida State Department of Corporations requires many formalities for Florida Corporations that it does not impose upon Florida LLCs. While corporations are required to follow many legally mandated formalities, LLCs have a more informal structure which makes them easier to maintain.
4. Subsidiaries Allowed. LLCs are allowed to have subsidiaries without restriction, whereas being a Florida S corporation places limits upon having subsidiaries.
5. Management Similar to a Florida Partnership: The management structure of a Florida LLC is much like that of a partnership. This allows the managing members to decide how the LLC will be run and to enter into an agreement formalizing this decision. Members can also appoint "managers" to run the LLC.
