Entity selection consultation
A CPA compares LLC, S-Corp and C-Corp treatment against your projected income, ownership and exit plans. No template recommendations.
Business formation, set up correctly
The entity you choose — LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp or partnership — affects your taxes every year the business operates, so the choice matters more than most people expect. We help you pick the structure and handle every filing, election and registration so you start clean.
- First-time founders launching a service business or consultancy
- Sole proprietors ready to incorporate for liability and tax reasons
- Real estate investors setting up a holding or series LLC structure
- Existing LLCs weighing an S-Corp election
- Out-of-state and international founders forming a US entity
- Co-founders who need a clean ownership and governance agreement
What's included
What formation includes
State formation filing
Articles of Organization or Incorporation filed with the Florida Division of Corporations — and with Delaware, Wyoming or other states where that fits.
EIN application
Federal Employer Identification Number obtained from the IRS, usually same-day for US owners; foreign-owned entities handled via Form SS-4.
S-Corp election (Form 2553)
Filed inside the 75-day window with acceptance confirmed. Late elections handled under Rev. Proc. 2013-30 where eligible.
Operating agreement
Ownership splits, profit and loss allocation, buy-sell provisions and dispute resolution drafted for your business — not a template download.
First-year compliance
Florida sales tax registration where needed, registered agent, annual report calendar, and a FinCEN beneficial-ownership filing for the foreign-registered entities that still owe one.
How it runs
Three steps, start to finish
01
Strategy call
We map the business, income projections and goals to the right entity. You leave with a written recommendation and a cost estimate.
02
File and register
State filing, EIN, S-election where applicable and the operating agreement — usually complete within two weeks.
03
First-year setup
Bookkeeping system, payroll if owner compensation is needed, estimated tax schedule and a year-end calendar handed over.
LLC or S-Corp — which should I choose?
An LLC is the legal entity; S-Corp is a tax election an LLC can make. For service businesses earning over roughly $60K–$80K in net profit, the election usually saves enough self-employment tax to justify the added payroll work. Below that, default LLC taxation is often cleaner. We run your numbers before recommending either.
Can I form in Delaware or Wyoming instead of Florida?
You can, but if you live and operate in Florida you will still register as a foreign LLC here — two state filings, two annual fees, two registered agents. For most Florida-based businesses, forming in Florida is cleaner. Delaware or Wyoming makes sense for venture-backed startups and holding entities.
Do I have to file a BOI report with FinCEN?
Almost certainly not. The Corporate Transparency Act originally required most LLCs and corporations to report their beneficial owners, but a FinCEN interim final rule issued in March 2025 exempted every entity created in the United States, along with US persons. What remains is a narrower requirement for foreign entities registered to do business in a US state. If you form in Florida, you are outside it. We confirm your position rather than filing something you do not owe.
How long does formation take?
Florida LLC formation is usually approved in 2–5 business days, the EIN is same-day, and the S-election approval letter takes 4–8 weeks from the IRS. The operating agreement is done within a week of formation.
Can you help if my entity is already a mess?
Yes. Common cleanup includes late S-elections, dissolved-then-revived entities, missed Florida annual reports, and converting from sole proprietor or partnership mid-year. We straighten the paper trail and align the tax filings.
