FAQ: Florida

Should I choose Florida if I live in Europe?

Only if your business is really based there. Otherwise, a state with lower annual fees is often a better fit.

What if I miss the May 1 deadline?

The state charges a $400 penalty, and the company can eventually be administratively dissolved if the report is not filed.
