There are many different types of legal entities recognized in the State of Florida. Each type of entity has different requirements, different tax ramifications, and different fees. The primary purpose of setting up a formal legal entity for your business is to protect yourself and your personal assets from liability arising out of the operation of your business. Our attorneys can advise you on the type of legal entity that best suits you and your business. We can also help you file the appropriate documentation with the State of Florida and the IRS.
In addition to the initial filings with the State, we can also prepare the appropriate governing documents for your business. These documents generally spell out how your business is going to operate on a day-to-day basis and who has the authority to make certain decisions. Importantly, these documents also address who is in charge of the business if you become sick and can no longer work. Additionally, these documents address whether your business is be dissolved or continued by a designated successor upon your death.
