Florida Business Formation is a decisions that should not be taken lightly. The decision to form an entity for operating a Jacksonville or Florida base business, asset protection, or estate planning will directly impact your liability and tax situation. The most common types of Florida Businesses are the Florida LLC or Limited Liability Company, and the Corporation. Our Jacksonville Business Lawyers can help you choose the correct type of business entity.
Today with so many options available in terms of business formation, it is more important than ever to choose the correct Florida business entity and more importantly make sure that the entity is formed correctly and that the owners understand their responsibilities to maintain the protections that are available to them.
We often see clients with generic forms that do not relate to their personal situation and do not take advantage of the many benefits that a properly formed Florida entity can offer.
It is important for our lawyers to understand you personal situation, risks, and desires to evaluate the tax implications, liability issues, asset protection, and management structure that is optimal for your business success. We help people evaluate and choose from the following Florida Business Entities:
Once an entity choice has been made, each has its own requirements for planning, structure and relationships. An agreement will be created to define the relationship between the members, managers, partners, and shareholders. If you do not have an agreement there are default provisions in the Florida Statutes, but these provisions will usually not comport with the needs of the business owners or managers.
