Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Basic information about laws governing Florida limited liability companies.
| Glossary » A limited liability company is a hybrid form of business entity combining some of the attributes of a corporation with the status of a partnership. |
Any entity that transacts business in Florida as a limited liability company is required by Florida Statutes to file Articles of Organization or an application for authorization with the Division and pay the filing fee. These documents must be typewritten or printed legibly in the English language. The professional advice of your legal counsel to ascertain exact compliance with all statutory requirements is strongly recommended.
