Basic organizations generally are personal firms or joint stock companies. It is very important to predetermine which legal structure is the most convenient regarding liability, personal properties, capital or taxes. In Florida, companies are subject to some local and federal taxation. Every business must get a fiscal identification number within a defined period and companies are registered with the "Florida General Corporation Act".
Buying a Business
Mediators or negotiators dealing with most of commercial purchases in Florida are registered to "Florida Real Estate Commission". An important thing is to make a close study of fiscal and legal rules before signing any document. It is also crucial to make sure to assess any "other conditions" of the purchase contract and what obligations the buyer is agreeing to.
Two alternatives are then possible:
- 1. Buying the land, the building and the goodwill,
- 2. Or only buy the goodwill involving the subsequent negotiation of a commercial lease.
Our team of agents can take care of this kind of transaction. In general the procedures for purchasing a business in Florida are the same as the ones used in real estate purchase, with the exception of the transfer of the act of property. Also every business does not permit the attainment of an “investor visa”.
