Most states allow out of state incorporation,but expect you to have a registered agent in the state of Florida to receive any legal papers.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Mr. Sarno is licensed to practice law in NJ and NY. His response here is not legal advice and does not create an attorney/ client relationship. The response is in the form of legal education and is intended to provide general information about the matter in question. Many times the questioner may leave out details which would make the reply unsuitable. Mr. Sarno strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in their own state to acquire more information.

In addition to the prior post please keep in mind that if your FL LLC decides to do business in another state if must register with that state prior to commencing operations.

Very truly yours,
