CORPORATION

A corporation is a separate legal entity that exists independently from its owners. A corporation comes into existence when articles of incorporation are properly created and maintained, filed with the prescribed fees, and accepted by the Florida Secretary of State.

Any entity that transacts business in Florida as a corporation is required by Florida Statutes to file documents of incorporation with the State of Florida and pay the filing fee.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC)

The LLC is a type of hybrid business structure that is designed to provide the limited liability features of a corporation and the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership. A popular choice for sole proprietors who are looking to incorporate simply to protect personal assets or secure additional loans, the LLC is thought to be one of the easiest and least expensive forms of ownership to organize. 

PARTNERSHIP

The partnership form of doing business is noted for its simplicity and ease of formation. A general partnership can be formed with nothing more than a simple agreement.

TRUST

A trust is an arrangement whereby money or property is owned and managed by one person (or persons, or organizations) for the benefit of another.
