BusinessRocket Alternative for a Florida LLC Owned From Abroad

Short verdict: on price alone, BusinessRocket wins, and it can also file your Florida annual report for $99 a year. Its non-US Essentials package is $252 below ours, and the agent renewal is the same $99. The argument for our package is the extra work we do on your EIN and your bank application. We sell that package, so read accordingly.

Can BusinessRocket form a Florida LLC?

BusinessRocket publishes a guide for each state, but the non-US package page doesn't name the states the package covers. Ask BusinessRocket about Florida before you order.

What BusinessRocket does well

• Low entry price. Essentials is $147, down from $195.
• Plenty in the box. EIN, internal documents, rush processing, a free domain, and a first year of agent service at no charge.
• The same $99 agent renewal we charge.
• Florida report filing on offer. Supreme costs $254 (list $349) with annual report filing in it; later filings run $99 a year, and the service is sold separately too. In a state with a $400 late fee, that's useful.
• A page for non-US residents, plus a Bank Concierge for Lili and Relay.
• A stated EIN estimate of 3 to 6 weeks for non-US residents.

First-year and ongoing cost in Florida

1. BusinessRocket Essentials, year one: $147 + $125 = $272.
2. BusinessRocket Supreme, year one: $254 + $125 = $379, with annual report filing included.
3. Our package, year one: $399 + $125 = $524.
4. Every later year: $99 for the agent at either company, plus Florida's $138.75 report fee to the state.

Over three years, Essentials totals $470 and our package $722, before the state's report fees that both owners pay. If saving money is the priority, BusinessRocket is the answer.

The Florida report you'll owe

Florida expects the report on Sunbiz between January 1 and May 1, with a $138.75 fee. A report filed after May 1 costs $400 more, which the state refuses to waive, and the Division can dissolve an LLC that still hasn't filed by the third Friday of September. We don't file it; BusinessRocket will, for a fee.

How we're different

The bank application is our job

BusinessRocket's concierge helps you apply. We do the preparation: an application for our partners, filled in from what you gave us at checkout, with your Florida Articles attached, complete as soon as you've signed the SS-4. You approve, we submit, and your EIN follows separately. Our partners make the decision, so we can't promise an account.

Built around owners with no SSN

Your Articles, our agent consent, and your SS-4 come out of one order. We fax the signed form, and the EIN goes to your dashboard when issued. The IRS generally takes two to eight weeks for applications sent this way.

Pick BusinessRocket if

• You want the lowest price for a Florida LLC with an EIN.
• You'd like the annual report filed for you at $99 a year.
• Rush processing and a free domain appeal to you.

Pick our package if

• You'd pay more to have the bank application drafted for you.
• You want the SS-4 prepared and filed as part of the same order.

Our package doesn't cover federal tax filings such as Form 5472; neither does BusinessRocket's Essentials. A tax professional can advise on both.

FAQ

How much less is BusinessRocket for a Florida LLC?

$252. Its non-US Essentials package is $147 (list $195), so $272 with Florida's $125 fee. Ours with the same fee is $524.

Does the gap grow or shrink later?

Neither. Both companies charge $99 a year for the registered agent once the free first year ends.

Can BusinessRocket file my Florida annual report?

Yes. Its Supreme package ($254, list $349) includes annual report filing, and it's $99 a year after that; BusinessRocket also sells the filing as an option. Our package doesn't file annual reports.

Does BusinessRocket form in Florida?

BusinessRocket writes a guide for each state, yet which states its non-US package serves isn't stated on that package's page. Confirm Florida with BusinessRocket when ordering.

Can I get BusinessRocket's Chase bonus from abroad?

No. BusinessRocket says that bonus is for US residents with an SSN. For owners abroad it offers a Bank Concierge for Lili and Relay, without promising approval.
