Straight-talking, step-by-step formation from someone who actually knows Florida business law. No confusing legalese. No surprise upsells at checkout.
Our $0 actually means $0 — no forced renewals, no checkout ambush. The state's fee is always its own labeled line.
We took the parts people get stuck on — the registered agent question, the "manager vs. member" box, the annual report nobody warns you about — and made them obvious.
Answer a short, jargon-free questionnaire. We flag the choices that actually matter for Florida owners and explain each one in a sentence.
We assemble your Articles of Organization correctly the first time and submit them to the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) on your behalf.
Once the state approves it, you receive your documents plus a clear checklist for your EIN, business bank account, and that all-important annual report.
Nationwide filing services run one process across fifty states. We built one thing, for one state, and we built it to be correct.
Created by a former Florida business attorney with two decades in the state and federal courts. The guidance you read was written by someone who actually practiced here.
Every article, every reminder, every answer is Florida-specific. No generic "consult your state's rules" hand-waving that leaves you Googling at midnight.
You'll see the state's fee and our fee side by side before you pay a cent. No bait pricing, no "registered agent" surprise on renewal.
Most owners don't learn about the May 1 annual report until the $400 late penalty has already landed. We track your deadline from day one and remind you well before it, so it doesn't catch you out.
Most sites hide this. Here's every dollar Florida charges, straight from the Division of Corporations — so you can see exactly what's a state fee and what's a service.
| Florida state charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Articles of Organization (filing) | $100.00 |
| Registered Agent Designation | $25.00 |
| Total to form your LLC | $125.00 |
| Annual Report (due by May 1, every year) | $138.75 |
| Optional: Certificate of Status | $5.00 |
| Optional: Certified Copy | $30.00 |
Every Florida LLC must file an annual report by May 1 — even if nothing changed. Miss it and the state adds a non-negotiable $400 penalty. Ignore it long enough and, by the fourth Friday in September, Florida can administratively dissolve your company.
We track that date for you from day one, so your LLC stays in good standing without you having to remember a thing.
Yes. Florida requires every LLC to name a registered agent with a physical Florida street address to receive legal and state mail. You can be your own, but many owners prefer not to list their home address publicly — we'll walk you through both options.
Processing times vary with the Division of Corporations' workload, and online filings are generally handled in the order received. We'll set your expectations honestly based on current turnaround rather than promising a number the state can't guarantee.
We do one state and know it cold. Our guidance was written by a former Florida business attorney, our pricing is shown line by line, and there are no add-ons buried in the checkout. We're a filing service — not a law firm — focused entirely on getting Florida owners set up correctly.
One thing to know up front: your order is prepared, fulfilled and billed by our parent company Filerra, LLC, which is the seller of record. That's why the checkout is branded Filerra — same team, same prices, same phone number.
Yes. From the moment your LLC is formed we track your May 1 deadline and email you well ahead of it. Your first report is due by May 1 of the year after the year you formed — not in the year you file. With the Compliance service we prepare and file the report for you; Florida's $138.75 fee is a separate state charge, passed through at cost.
No. FloridaFormed, a Filerra company, is a business filing and information service. We help you prepare and file your own documents and we explain how the process works, but we do not provide legal advice or act as your attorney. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed Florida attorney.

Thirty minutes, one-on-one. We explain how Florida's filing process works, what Sunbiz requires on each line of the form, what every option on it means, the real state fees, and the deadlines that follow. You make all legal and tax decisions.
General information about Florida's filing process. Not legal or tax advice, and not a recommendation about your particular situation — we don't choose your entity or your state for you. When a question needs a lawyer, we say so and stop.
