Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, no legal jargon.

The 15 questions we hear the most — organized by topic.

Company Formation

Do we need regular immigration status to open a company?

No. Opening an LLC in the USA is separate from your immigration situation. The company does not grant a visa, work authorization or residency. For immigration matters, consult a specialized attorney.

How long does the complete process take?

From 10 to 30 business days, depending on Sunbiz and the IRS.

Can we open a company in Florida while living in another state?

Yes. Many clients live in other states and choose Florida for tax reasons.

LLC or Corporation? How do we decide?

For 90% of clients, an LLC is ideal. A Corporation suits those planning to raise capital through shares. We define it in the Consultation.

Services and Maintenance

Do you help open the business bank account?

Not directly. We assume you can go in person, and we guide you on the documents.

Do you offer ITIN services?

No. Our audience already has their own SSN or ITIN.

Are you CPAs?

Bookkeeping and compliance do not require a CPA. For federal filings, we work with a partner CPA.

Can I hire only the formation?

Yes — the Formation Package is independent. But we recommend the Annual Report for year two.

Tax Obligations

Do I have to pay taxes even without revenue?

It depends. Even without revenue, the company must file the Annual Report. For federal taxes, talk to a CPA.

What is the Annual Report?

A mandatory yearly report due by May 1st on Sunbiz. Late filing = a $400 penalty and possible dissolution.

How much does it cost to maintain the company per year?

LLC: ~$138.75 (Annual Report). Corporation: $150. Paid directly to the state, no markup.

What happens if we don't file the Annual Report?

A $400 penalty and, if the omission continues, administrative dissolution.

Payment and Contract

What payment methods do you accept?

Zelle, Wise Transfer and PayPal (coming soon). 100% upfront.

Do you offer installments?

No. Packages are paid in full before we start. Monthly services are billed each month.

What if I change my mind after paying?

Payments are non-refundable once services begin. Do the Consultation first.

Do you serve clients in Spanish?

Yes. Portuguese, Spanish and English — spoken, written and in contracts.
