Records To Be Kept For A Florida Limited Liability Company
I do a lot of business planning for clients besides setting up their estate plans. The most popular business I create for them is the Florida Limited Liability Company, Florida LLC. In order for the LLC to be respected under Florida law - most importantly by a Florida judge when it comes to a lawsuit, the following documents must be kept:
1) a current list of the full names and last known business, residence or mailing addresses of all members, managers and managing members.
2) a copy of the articles of organization and annual minutes and filings with the State of Florida.
3) copies of all tax returns for the previous 3 years.
4) copies of all financial statements for the previous 3 years.
5) copy of the operating agreement.
6) if no, operating agreement, then a statement showing all contributions made to the LLC with the amount of each contribution and who gave the contribution.
The above 6 items are crucial to prove the LLC is an existing LLC and are specifically called for in the Florida statutes.
To learn more on making sure your LLC will be recognized in a court of law, please consult our business attorneys at Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. in Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
