Why founders consider Florida
Florida is the most expensive and slowest of Formpreneur’s three launch states, so it should be chosen for a genuine business reason rather than only for the name. It can be appropriate for founders with Florida-facing customers, suppliers, operations, market positioning or an East Coast strategy.
Florida is familiar to many international customers and business partners and may fit a genuine Florida-facing plan.
Florida’s Sunbiz system makes company records and annual-report status easy to verify publicly.
Florida does not levy an individual state income tax, but this does not by itself determine the owner’s federal, home-country or business tax position.
Managed covers the ordinary on-time Florida annual-report work in the first applicable cycle under the supported profile.
Important trade-offs before choosing this state
Florida has meaningful ongoing cost and public-record considerations.
Who Florida often fits
Consider another supported state when
- You do not have a specific Florida reason and want lower formation and recurring costs.
- Faster estimated state processing is a priority, compare Wyoming.
- Lighter recurring state administration is the priority, compare New Mexico.
Formpreneur packages for Florida
Both packages include the complete first-year formation bundle. Managed is recommended for founders who also want Formpreneur to coordinate their first eligible compliance cycle.
| Package | First year | Support | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $479 | 12 months by email and website support tickets | Formation essentials; annual work not included |
| Managed: Recommended | $849 | 12 months priority email, tickets and WhatsApp | First eligible federal and state cycle included |
Starter
Starter is for a self-directed founder who wants Formpreneur to handle the formation essentials and EIN workflow, while taking responsibility for later annual and federal compliance. It includes 12 months of standard support through email and the Formpreneur website support-ticket system.
Managed: Recommended
Managed includes the same formation bundle plus 12 months of priority support through email, website support tickets and WhatsApp. For an eligible foreign-owned single-member company, it also includes the first applicable state annual-report work and preparation of one pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 when required. It is not general bookkeeping or unlimited tax advice.

What happens after forming in Florida
Florida LLCs file an annual report each year to maintain active status. The normal on-time state amount is $138.75, and Florida imposes a $400 late fee after May 1. Starter renewal is $199 and does not include annual-report work. Managed renewal is $649 and includes ordinary on-time annual-report work and the supported federal compliance cycle; late and exceptional amounts are quoted separately.
US bank account and Stripe application support
A US company and EIN can be important parts of a business-account or Stripe application, but they do not guarantee approval. Formpreneur helps you prepare the formation documents, banking resolution, EIN records and consistent business description required for an application. The financial provider still performs its own identity, risk, country, industry and activity review. Formpreneur never opens accounts under false information, holds customer funds or acts as a payment processor.
Your company records should not disappear into an email thread
Formation is only the beginning. Formpreneur gives the company owner a workspace for the information and documents that are commonly needed after approval.
- Formation status and next actions
- Articles and internal company documents
- EIN record when received
- Registered-agent details and eligible mail scans
- Support-ticket history
- Managed compliance status and customer deadlines where applicable
- Cloud invoice features available to eligible Formpreneur customers
Managed covers the first eligible compliance cycle
Managed is designed for the launch profile: one non-US tax-resident natural-person owner, one US single-member company and the default disregarded federal classification. The exact filing requirement always depends on the customer’s facts and timely information.
- Preparation of one pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 when required for the supported profile
- Applicable standard state annual-report work in the first full compliance cycle
- Customer review and a fresh signature before submission
- No Form 1065, personal income-tax return, bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax or bespoke tax planning
- No guarantee of a tax result, filing acceptance or penalty relief

|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199 | Registered-agent and supported address continuity, document access and another 12 months of standard support; no Managed tax or state-report entitlement. |
| Managed | $649 | Registered-agent continuity, priority support, supported federal compliance and normal on-time Florida annual-report work including the $138.75 state amount. |

Compare the other supported states
| State | Starter | Managed | Main difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | $329 | $699 | Lowest first-year price and lighter recurring state administration. |
| Wyoming | $395 | $765 | Faster estimated state processing and a recurring $60-minimum annual report. |
A stage-based refund policy
Cancel before manual review begins for a full refund. After manual review but before provider submission, a $49 administrative fee applies. Government, state and provider costs become non-refundable once paid or irrevocably committed. Formpreneur-caused filing errors are corrected without another Formpreneur service fee. Approved refunds are initiated within 14 business days, although the customer’s financial institution controls final posting.
Frequently asked questions
In many cases, yes. Formpreneur’s current service is specifically designed for eligible non-US tax residents who will be the sole natural-person owner. Your home-country tax and reporting duties remain separate.
No travel is required for the standard Formpreneur formation workflow. Banks, payment providers or exceptional verification cases may have their own requirements.
Formpreneur’s supported formation and international EIN workflow does not require the eligible customer to obtain an ITIN first. Formpreneur does not provide ITIN applications. An ITIN may still be needed later for a separate personal US federal tax purpose.
Not through the current launch service. Formpreneur accepts one natural-person owner with 100% ownership. Multi-member companies and Form 1065 are not offered at launch.
No. The current paid formation service is for eligible non-US residents. US residents may still use the public free invoice generator.
You provide an alternative name during intake. State authorities make the final availability decision, and Formpreneur will request another option if needed.
Yes. Both Starter and Managed include preparation and support for the eligible international EIN application workflow. The IRS controls assignment and timing, so an EIN cannot be guaranteed.
A provider-permitted US business mailing address is included for supported uses, together with first-year registered-agent service. It is not a staffed operating office, personal residence or universal address for every bank, marketplace or directory.
No. Formpreneur helps prepare documents and navigate suitable applications. Each bank, fintech and Stripe performs its own risk, country, industry and identity review and makes the final decision.
A registered agent maintains an address in the formation state and receives official legal or state correspondence for the company. It is a statutory contact role, not a substitute for your own operating location.
Limited eligible mail scanning is included under the provider’s rules. Physical forwarding, courier, postage, customs and handling are separately paid by the customer. Packages, product returns, cash, hazardous items, perishables and personal mail are excluded.
Yes, the standard first-year state filing fee for the selected supported state is included. Optional, expedited, later renewal, physical forwarding, customer-caused and exceptional charges are separate and disclosed before charging.
Starter renewal is currently $199 in each supported state. Managed renewal is $499 in New Mexico, $565 in Wyoming and $649 in Florida. The first-year purchase does not automatically enroll you in annual billing.
For the supported eligible profile, Managed includes the first full applicable state and federal compliance cycle, including one pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 when required and ordinary state annual-report work where applicable. It does not include bookkeeping, Form 1065 or broad personal tax preparation.
