Should a Florida resident open the LLC in Florida?+
Usually, a business that operates physically in Florida needs to be registered here. Opening in another state often also requires registering in Florida, with costs in both. The decision is yours, ideally with your accountant.
When is the annual report due?+
The Florida annual report costs US$ 138.75 and must be filed between January 1 and May 1, from the year after formation. After that, the penalty is US$ 400.
How do I open a Florida LLC with Atlas?+

What is not included?+
Not included: domain, e-mail, phone or website; bank account; accounting and IRS filings; state annual fees and registered agent from the second year.
How long does it take?+
It depends on the state and the IRS, and no timeline is guaranteed. The filing goes to the state after the order is accepted by the filing partner. Without an SSN, the EIN is requested from the IRS by fax or mail: the IRS indicates about 4 business days by fax and about 4 weeks by mail.
Do I need an SSN?+
Not to open the company. The company's EIN can be obtained without an SSN. Some personal uses may require an ITIN, which is issued by the IRS.
Do you open bank accounts?+
We guide you on banks and fintechs, but account approval always depends on the institution.
Is Atlas a law or accounting firm?+
No. Global Atlas is a business services company and does not provide legal, tax or immigration advice. Regulated services, such as accounting, are handled by licensed professionals.
