In order to get things moving, we’ve obviously needed to start with business licensing to keep things legal. Plus, without an EIN (tax identification number) you can’t get a merchant account! I am more than capable of finding all the right forms to fill out in preparation for applying for an LLC with the state of Florida, but chose to let somebody else do it all for me.

LLC.com, the Company Corporation, did a fantastic job. The total cost of the “Complete” package was $722 after Florida’s $125 state filing fee and 2 added options, the Business License Compliance Package (provides physical licenses and permits, necessary for doing business) and the LLC Operating Agreement which outlines how Bruce and I will make our money, how much goes where, and who does what. I imagine a lot of people choose this route when preparing to start a business and there are a lot of companies that offer the same service, but LLC.com and the Company Corporation have proved to be quite impressing.

My paperwork and forms came in the mail just a few days later. After another few days I received our company seal, a three book legal and tax reference library, and the rest of my package goodies.

The “Complete” bundle includes the following:

  • Completion and Filing of the Articles of Formation
  • My Account Online Service Tool and Alerts explaining Government & Legal Requirements for your Business
  • 6 months of Registered Agent Service
  • $50,000 Corporate Veil Guarantee
  • Unlimited Phone Support
  • Company Name Search & Reservation
  • Review of Formation Documents
  • Subscription to Business Builder quarterly eNewsletter
  • Expedited Shipping via FedEx
  • Additional 6 months of Registered Agent
  • Your Limited Liability Company - An Operating Manual
  • Compliance kit with Desk Embosser
  • LLC Priority Handling
  • A Three Book Legal & Tax Reference Library
  • Obtain Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)

So if you’re looking to form an LLC and are either clueless as to where to start or simply would rather have somebody else do the dirty work, LLC.com is your best bet. It’s quick and easy.
