How to Form an LLC in Tampa

Your Tampa company is formed by filing with the Florida Department of State (Sunbiz). We check name availability, prepare your Articles of Organization and appoint a registered agent with a physical Florida address. After approval, we get your EIN and, depending on your business location, guide you through the Hillsborough County Local Business Tax Receipt and, if needed, the City of Tampa receipt.

Tampa’s Economy and Opportunities

Tampa is a fast-growing business center for finance and insurance operations, healthcare, cybersecurity and software. Port Tampa Bay also makes the region attractive for import-export and distribution. Together with St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Tampa Bay is Florida’s second-largest metro area.

Support After Formation

We stay with you after formation: registered agent service, annual report reminders, sales tax and employer registrations, and bookkeeping and tax filing support — all in one place.

Fees and dates are for information; states may change them. The current amount is confirmed when you apply.

FAQ

Forming a Company in Tampa: FAQ

Do I need to rent an office to form a company in Tampa?

No. A registered agent address is enough for formation. If you will meet customers in person or hire employees, you may need a physical location and local business tax receipt.

Should I form an LLC or a corporation in Tampa?

For most small and mid-sized businesses, an LLC is more flexible and simpler. If you plan to raise outside investment, a corporation may fit better — our company finder helps you decide quickly.

What is the Florida LLC filing fee?

The official fee paid to Sunbiz for a Florida LLC is $125 ($100 Articles of Organization + $25 registered agent designation). A Florida corporation costs $70 to file. Our service fee is shown separately, with no hidden charges.
