Doing business in Miami, Florida

Miami is a city in southeastern Florida, located in Miami-Dade County. Nestled between the Florida Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean, the Miami Metropolitan area is among the best cities in the U.S. to start a business. Many entrepreneurs attribute this success to the consistently warm weather throughout the year. Miami-Dade County is an excellent place for new and growing businesses.

 

Tourism stands out as the main attraction, with Miami's cruise port being the largest in the world. Additionally, it ranks as the 11th largest container port for freight in the United States.

The 5 advantages of starting an Inc.
in the state of Florida

1.

Limited Liability

The limited liability protects, in most cases, the foundations of the business and the shareholders from personal liability. For instance, let’s assume that the company has debts. In this case, creditors would not be able to collect personal assets from the clients and shareholders to cover their payment.

An Inc. can be compared to a public limited company and has features of a private limited company. "Incorporated" is officially the English term for a public limited company.

2.

Anonymity

In Florida, you are not required to disclose all information about the people involved in the company. In short, you can establish your business anonymously, which is usually done through a company representative.
3.

Professional appearance and business formalities

With a Florida Corporation, your business appears much more professional due to the Inc. initials following your business name. The Inc. is essentially the official stamp of the State of Florida Division of Corporations. If you have an Inc., your company can easily secure loans from banks and succeed in any other business transaction.
4.

Tax Benefits

In addition to the fact that you won't be taxed twice when establishing a corporation in Florida and only paying a low tax amount, there are more benefits to be gained: 

  • All startup costs are deductible.
  • The costs of a business vehicle and travel expenses are deductible.
  • The costs for banking, legal, or accounting services for the business, as well as business lease and rental costs, are fully deductible.
  • The overhead costs of running your business daily and the interest paid on capital loans are deductible.
  • Paid salaries, business insurance, advertising costs, and sales tax related to your business are deductible.
  • The health insurance for your family is deductible.
  • Expenses or losses are fully deductible for the corporation, while sole proprietorships or partnerships must prove that there was a profit motive before the loss can be deducted.
  • Deferred taxes that are in a trust can be rolled over to the owner's retirement plan.
5.

Eternal Existence

A company that is established in Florida has a continuous life, regardless of changes in ownership. In some states, when the owner passes away, the business stops. If an heir wishes to continue it, it would be considered as a new company. But that's not the case in Florida. Even if the shareholders change, the Florida State Corporation can never be affected by anything.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Between an Inc and an LLC

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.

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.
