How to Form a Corporation in Florida — The Benefits

Briefly, the benefits of forming a Florida corporation are:

  • A Florida S Corporation or C Corporation will protect your personal finances and assets by limiting your liability.
  • S Corporations can provide tax advantages for Florida business owners by reducing the self-employment tax you pay.
  • If you want limited options to buy, sell or transfer stock, a Florida S Corporation gives you some options.
  • FL C Corporations give you the most flexibility for creating, transferring and selling stock.

If you don’t need the options for buying and selling stock, a Florida LLC may be a better choice for your business. You can even have your LLC treated as an S Corporation for tax purposes to save you money.
