Start Your Business
Business Formation Services
Choosing the right entity structure matters for your taxes, liability, and long-term goals. We handle the filings and make sure you start on solid footing.
Starting a business in Florida involves real decisions with real consequences: which entity type protects you from liability, how your business income will be taxed, and what ongoing compliance requirements you will face. Making the wrong call early can cost you significantly in taxes or leave you personally exposed.
We guide you through every step, from selecting the right structure for your goals to filing the paperwork and setting up your initial financial foundation. We also cost considerably less than most online formation services, and we actually explain what you are signing up for.
Save money vs. online formation services. Before you pay $200 to $500 on a legal website that auto-generates documents and hands you a file, talk to us. We handle the same filings at a fair price and give you real guidance on what each decision means for your business and taxes.
Entity Formation

- Partnership: General or limited partnership formation including partnership agreements and required state filings.
- Sole Proprietorship: DBA (Doing Business As) registration, business license guidance, and setup for proper record-keeping and quarterly estimated taxes.

Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Reporting
As of January 2024, many existing and newly formed businesses are required to file BOI reports with FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act. Failure to file carries significant penalties.
If your business was formed before January 1, 2024, you had until January 1, 2025 to file. Newly formed entities have 90 days. We can help you determine whether your business is required to file and handle the submission on your behalf.
