    We will help you navigate the process of starting your own business in the United States. Building your own business is an exciting opportunity but it may also be challenging. Lucky for you, U.S. Citizenship and residency are often not requirements when starting a business in the United States. Although it is easy to start a business, it is important to have someone guide you through the legal framework because the U.S. is one of the most litigious countries in the world. Our fees are reasonable at $250 to help you create an LLC in Florida (additional adminstirative filing fees are charged according to the fee schedule of the Florida Deparment of State (https://dos.myflorida.com/sunbiz/forms/fees/)  )

    Decide which business type is right for you:

    1. Limited Liability Company (LLC)

    Membership: Anyone can be a member of an LLC: corporations, individuals, foreign nationals, foreign entities, and other LLCs. Many states do not restrict ownership for LLCS. 

    Limited Liability: Protects the business owner’s personal assets from liabilities that may arise from operating a business.

    Tax Advantages: Do not pay double income taxes as traditional corporations do. Any business income or losses.

    Fewer compliance requirements: LLCs face less state compliance requirements than general partnerships and corporations.

    2. S-Corporation

    Pass through entity: S-Corps do not pay federal taxes at the corporate level. Business income taxes go through the shareholders personal income tax returns. Business losses may offset the shareholders ‘other income’ on the shareholders tax returns and in turn reduce income tax paid.

    Limited Liability: Protects the business owner’s personal assets from liabilities that may arise from operating a business.

    Income Characterization: Shareholders may be employees of the business and earn salaries as employees. These employees may also receive dividends and/or other tax-free distributions to the level of their investment in their business.

    Transfer of Ownership: S-Corps can transfer interests freely without tax penalties. Investors: S-Corps allow for up to 100 shareholders

    3. C – Corporation Limited Liability:

    Protects the business owner’s personal assets from liabilities that may arise from operating a business.

    Unlimited growth potential: C-corp can issue an unlimited amount of shares.

    Tax Advantages: Tax deductible business expenses and have lower tax rates than S-Corps.

    Unlimited Number of Investors: Easy access to investments. Attractive to investors, as there can be an unlimited number of investors in the company. Most venture capital firms are prohibited from investing in LLC's and therefore require a C-Corp entity.

    4. Sole Proprietorship:

    Sole owners have complete control over the business.

    Owners are fully liable: When a sole proprietorship fails to pay its debts, the owner’s home, savings, and other individual assets can be taken to satisfy those debts.

    Taxes: Owners must pay self-employment taxes on the business income

    Death: When the sole owner dies, the business dies as well.
