Before expanding into the United States, it's beneficial to ask yourself several questions:
YES, I would like to receive the export funnel + whitepaper on the export scan to fill out myself!
Ultimately, forming a Miami Inc. requires tailored advice. What is your liability? What permits are necessary? What are the risks involved? Can responsibilities be shifted to export agents or business partners? Are the owners European or American? And what are the pros and cons of each scenario?
It all begins with a personal conversation, at a time that suits you best.
Limited liability protects the company’s foundations and shareholders from personal liability in most cases. For instance, if the company is in debt, creditors cannot claim personal assets from the owners and shareholders to cover their payments.
In Florida, you don’t have to disclose all information about the individuals involved in the company. In short, you can incorporate anonymously, usually through a corporate representative.
With a Florida Corporation, your business looks much more professional due to the Inc. initials after your business name. The Inc. is essentially the official stamp of the State of Florida Division of Corporations. Having an Inc. helps your business easily obtain bank loans and be successful in other business transactions.
Besides not being double-taxed when setting up a corporation in Florida and paying a low tax amount, there are additional benefits:
A corporation established in Florida enjoys perpetual life, irrespective of ownership changes. In some states, when a business owner dies, the business ceases. If an heir wants to continue, it would be considered a new business. But not in Florida. Even when shareholders change, the Florida State Corporation remains unaffected.

Inc: An "Incorporated" company that meets all legal requirements. Universities, healthcare providers, (semi-) governments, and municipalities generally prefer to collaborate with "Inc's" established in the USA.
LLC: A Limited Liability Company where the income tax is passed through to the owners, but liability remains within the business. The Inc. is the most commonly used business form in the United States.
The popularity of this structure is partly due to the fact that neither shareholders nor board members are personally liable for the company.

As a business owner, you also bear responsibility for your staff, which means making Miami an attractive place for you, your family, and your employees is important. Firstly, the city offers a tropical climate, with winter temperatures rarely dropping below 16 degrees Celsius. Working and living in the sun is much more pleasant, after all. Additionally, you can relax during your free time on any of the many beaches, such as Miami Beach, South Beach, and Virginia Key Beach. Moreover, Miami is a cultural melting pot, offering a wide variety of restaurants, including charming Cuban eateries in Little Havana. Lastly, the vibrant nightlife provides plenty of options to enjoy clubs and bars where you can dine or enjoy a cocktail late into the night.
