Forming an LLC in Florida takes one filing with the Division of Corporations, the state's business filing office. The state fee is a flat $125.00 and it covers the filing and the registered agent designation.
For the division's contacts and search tools, see the Florida office guide. For how the filing works in every state, read the articles of organization guide.

Can you speed up a Florida filing?
Not for a fee. The division says it does not offer expedited services. Its records update daily, so you can check the search after you file instead of waiting for a letter.
What other fees are on the same schedule?
These LLC fees come from the division's own schedule:
- Name reservation: $25.00.
- Articles of correction: $25.00.
- Any other amendment: $25.00.
- Change of registered agent: $25.00.
- Reinstatement: $100.00, plus the annual report fee for each year missed.
What comes after you file?
Once the division accepts your articles, the LLC exists. Florida then expects a yearly report from the company. The Florida annual report guide shows the deadline and the late fee. A certificate of status proves the LLC is current when a bank asks.
