Corporation (Inc.) Registration in Florida

Starting a corporation in Florida is a strategic move for entrepreneurs who want a formal, scalable business structure with legal protections and tax flexibility. Unlike an LLC, a Corporation (Inc.) offers a traditional business framework with clearly defined roles, shareholder ownership, and robust credibility in the eyes of investors and customers alike.

At 100Services, we offer complete support for registering a Corporation in Florida — from choosing the right entity type to preparing bylaws, filing incorporation documents, and obtaining all the necessary identification numbers and licenses.

💼 What Is a Corporation (Inc.)?

A corporation is a legal entity that exists independently from its owners (shareholders). It can own property, enter into contracts, sue and be sued, and conduct business under its own name.

Forming a corporation is ideal if you want to:

• Raise capital by issuing shares
• Separate personal and business liability
• Build a structured organization with long-term growth potential
• Create a trusted and professional business image

Corporations are governed by corporate bylaws, managed by a board of directors, and must hold annual meetings to maintain compliance.

⚖️ Types of Corporations You Can Register in Florida

Florida offers different types of corporations to fit your business needs. At 100Services, we guide you in selecting the most appropriate structure:

🔷 For-Profit Corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp)

This is the most common type of corporation created to operate a business for profit.

➤ C-Corporation (C-Corp)

• Pays corporate income tax on earnings at the entity level.
• It can have unlimited shareholders, including individuals, corporations, and foreign investors.
• Can issue multiple classes of stock, offering flexibility for investment deals.
• Ideal for startups that want to raise venture capital or eventually go public.

➤ S-Corporation (S-Corp)

• Avoids double taxation through pass-through taxation (profits and losses pass directly to shareholders’ personal tax returns).
• It can have up to 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or residents.
• Can issue only one class of stock.
• Suitable for small to medium-sized businesses looking for tax advantages while maintaining corporate structure.

🔷 Professional Corporation (P.A. – Professional Association)

Designed for licensed professionals such as:

• Doctors
• Dentists
• Lawyers
• Accountants
• Architects
• Engineers
• All shareholders must be licensed in the same profession. A P.A. offers limited liability while maintaining the credibility and compliance standards required for professional service providers.

Forming a corporation is a strong choice for entrepreneurs who plan to scale, attract investors, or establish a clear separation between personal and business finances. Unlike sole proprietorships or partnerships, corporations offer enhanced credibility and structured governance — but they also come with more regulatory responsibilities.
