Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act
Florida · Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act · §§ 605.0101 to 605.2802 · 191 sections
Overview
This act supplies the statutory framework for forming and operating limited liability companies, covering how a company comes into existence through articles of organization filed with the state filing office and how it maintains a distinctive name, a registered agent, and current public records through amendments, corrections, and annual reports. Internal governance is left largely to the members' operating agreement, which the act treats as the primary source of the company's rules while reserving certain provisions the agreement cannot alter. It also sets the default rules that matter to outsiders — when a member or manager can bind the company, how authority can be publicly established or disclaimed through filed statements, how process and notice are delivered, and the limited liability that shields members and managers from the company's obligations.
