About Florida-USA
Florida is the southernmost contiguous state in the United States. Tallahassee is the state’s capital.

What is Florida LLC?
The Florida LLC (Limited Liability Company) is the most flexible type of business entity offered by any state or country in the world. This is the reason why the LLC has become the entity of choice among many legal, accounting and business professionals. The structure of the company and the rules that govern the members of the company are contained in a contract called the LLC Operating Agreement, which is drafted by the members of the LLC. This means the terms and rules of each LLC can be tailored to accommodate the specific needs and preferences of an LLC. This is the biggest benefit of an LLC over any other form of business entity. This power is called freedom of contract.
Tax in Florida
A single-member LLC that does not elect to be treated as a corporation will be classified as a “disregarded entity”. Single-member LLCs are not recognized by the IRS and therefore pay no taxes at all. Instead, tax liability is passed through to the member.
Nominee Service
Nominee Service consists of Nominee Member (Shareholder) and Nominee Manager (Director). Both, Corporate and Individual non-resident Nominee Members/Managers are available internationally.
Accounting and Audit
Florida LLC is not required to file state or federal tax returns. Whilst there is no requirement to file audited accounts or annual returns with the authorities, an LLC is required to keep internal financial records, which should reflect the financial position of an LLC. Annual Report is required in case where there is a distribution of profits to US residents.
