LLCWhat it is
Registering your company is the first step, and every other filing depends on it. Without a formed entity and an EIN (the Employer Identification Number issued by the IRS), you cannot obtain a USDOT number or MC authority, or file Form 2290: the federal system requires a business entity.
We form your LLC or corporation in Florida, obtain your EIN from the IRS, and prepare the structure for your transportation permits. Everything is handled in one place, with no need to visit multiple offices.

Frequently asked questions
Should I form an LLC or a corporation?
For an owner-operator or a small fleet, an LLC is usually the simplest and most flexible option. We assess your situation before filing.
Do I need to be a U.S. resident or citizen?
Not to form the company or obtain an EIN. Requirements differ depending on immigration status, and we review them with you.
Can I use my home address?
For the company, it is usually acceptable. DOT registration requires a physical address and there are nuances, so it is worth discussing with us.
What are my annual obligations?
Filing the Florida Annual Report. It is mandatory and has a deadline; we handle that filing as well.
