Corporate Structures

Which structure for your business? For non-resident Brazilians, S-Corp is not an option — only LLC and C-Corp.

Florida LLC Formation

Articles, EIN without SSN, Operating Agreement, bank account, FinCEN BOI Report. 100% remote process.

Full comparison. S-Corp does NOT accept non-residents. For VC/IPO: Delaware C-Corp.

Benefit Corporations
