Form an LLC Online in Florida (FL)
What is an LLC?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a form of a business entity that combines the benefits of a corporation with elements of a partnership. Corporations provide limited liability to their owners (stockholders) while partnerships provide pass-through single taxation to their owners (partners). LLCs are unique in that they combine the limited liability protection found in corporations to its members and pass through taxation like a partnership (which avoids double taxation that occurs with most corporations).
