Start Your US Company From Overseas. We'll Build the Florida LLC.

Your customers are in the US. You don't have to be. If you sell on a US marketplace, build software for US clients, or invoice American companies from another country, a Florida LLC is a straightforward way to do it. We set the whole thing up while you stay overseas: the state filing, your registered agent, an EIN with no Social Security Number, and an application to open an account with our partners.

$399 + Florida's $125 filing fee. Your registered agent is included for the first year, then $99/yr.

How it works

1. Checkout: tell us your company name and who owns it. You fill out nothing else.
2. Filing: we send your Articles to the Florida Division of Corporations.
3. Approval: once Florida registers your LLC, the filed Articles go into your dashboard.
4. Signature: you e-sign the SS-4 we prepared.
5. Bank account application: ready immediately, with your company documents attached, so the EIN doesn't hold it up. Once you approve it, it goes to our partners.
6. IRS filing: we fax your signed SS-4.
7. EIN: the IRS assigns your number, typically two to eight weeks after the fax, and it shows up in your dashboard.

You step in at 1, 4, and 5. We do the other steps for you.

What we handle for you

We file your Florida LLC

We draft your Articles of Organization and file them on Sunbiz, Florida's online filing system. Your principal and mailing addresses can be outside the US.

We are your Florida registered agent

Your registered office has to be at a physical street address in Florida, and PO Boxes aren't accepted. For the first year, we provide that address, and we scan and forward any official documents that arrive for your LLC.

We get your EIN without an SSN

Most people overseas can't use the IRS online tool, since it requires an SSN or ITIN. We use the paper process instead: we prepare Form SS-4, have you sign it electronically, and fax it. Plan on two to eight weeks, because the IRS works through these on its own schedule. If you have an SSN, the EIN still comes through the normal process.

We send your bank account application to our partners

Nothing here waits for the IRS. When the SS-4 is signed, your application is already put together from your order, with your filed Articles attached. You approve it before anything is sent, and then we send it to our partners. Whether an account is opened is their decision, and we can't guarantee it.

Pricing

We pass the state fee through at cost, and checkout shows your exact total before you enter any card details. The EIN, including the extra paperwork when you don't have an SSN, is part of the $399.

Why Florida

• Members, managers, and organizers don't have to live in Florida (Chapter 605).
• The formation fee is $125: $100 plus a $25 registered agent designation.
• Florida LLCs file an annual report each year between January 1 and May 1, and the fee is $138.75.
• Missing May 1 brings a $400 late fee, and it can't be waived.
• Your registered office can't be a PO Box, and your annual report must list at least one manager or managing member.

This summarizes Florida's rules. It isn't tax advice.

What stays with you after setup

The annual report each spring is yours to file. So are taxes: we don't file federal returns of any kind. Many LLCs owned from abroad file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, and your tax adviser should handle that. We also don't give tax or immigration advice, so work with a tax professional who has experience with international owners.

Frequently asked questions

I live overseas. Why choose Florida?

Florida has no residency requirement for LLC owners, handles filings online through Sunbiz, and runs a predictable annual report schedule. Whether it's right for you depends on your business and your home country's rules, so check with a tax professional.

Do I need a US address?

Your LLC needs a Florida registered office at a physical street address, and our office provides it for the included first year. Your own address can stay outside the US.

What happens with the business bank account?

We draft it for our partners with your filed Articles included, and it's finished once your EIN application carries your signature. After you give your approval, we submit it. Your EIN follows later. Our partners review it and decide on the account, which isn't something we can guarantee.

How much is Florida's annual report, and when is it due?

It's $138.75, due by May 1 each year, with a $400 late fee after that. It isn't part of the package, so plan to file it yourself or with help.

Can you get my EIN in less than eight weeks?

We can't speed it up. We fax Form SS-4 to the IRS, and the IRS usually takes two to eight weeks to process these. It has no expedited service for them.

Will I be billed for anything else?

From us, only the $99 yearly registered agent renewal after the first year, which you can cancel in your dashboard. Florida's annual report fee goes to the state separately.

Will you file Form 5472 for me?

No. We don't prepare or file tax forms. If your LLC is foreign-owned, ask a tax professional whether Form 5472 or other federal filings apply.
