Stay Compliant

What Your State Expects Every Year, and What It Costs to Miss It.

A Florida LLC owes an annual report every year and must keep a registered agent on file at all times. Depending on what it sells it may also need licences and tax registrations.

Miss the annual report and Florida administratively dissolves the company in September.

Compliance Requirements

Annual Reports

$138.75 a year for a Florida LLC, $150.00 for a corporation, due 1 May. STEPS prepares and files it on request.

How it works

Registered Agent

STEPS is your agent and scans what arrives to your dashboard the same day. First year included, then $95/year.

How it works

Business Licenses

The wizard names every federal, state and local licence you need. File them yourself, or STEPS files and tracks each one to approval.

How it works

Tax Registrations

Sales and use tax and reemployment tax, on one Florida form. STEPS registers you; your accountant files the returns.

How it works

How It Works

Stay on Top of Your Compliance Requirements

  1. We Build Your Calendar

    Every recurring filing for your state and entity, dated from your formation date.

  2. We Remind You

    We tell you before each date falls due, and the dashboard shows what is expiring next.

  3. You Choose Who Files

    File it yourself, or add report filing, licence filing or tax registration and STEPS files it for you.

  4. You Stay in Good Standing

    The entity stays active on the state’s record — which is what a bank, a lender and a buyer all check.

Your Compliance Hub

Keep Important Business Requirements Organized.

Your STEPS account holds your formation documents, each licence with its own expiration date, and the state mail we scan for you — on a dashboard that shows what is expiring next.

  • Documents in one place

    Formation documents, licences and certificates, stored against the entity they belong to.

  • Renewal dates tracked

    Every licence carries its own status and expiration date, so nothing lapses unseen.

  • Mail scanned same day

    Service of process and state correspondence, opened, scanned and uploaded the day it arrives.

  • One account, every service

    Add a licence filing, a tax registration or a virtual office without opening a second account.

Managing a U.S. Business From Abroad?

You do not need an SSN or a U.S. address to own a U.S. company. STEPS obtains your EIN from the IRS without an SSN, provides a U.S. business address on Platinum, and receives and scans the state mail your entity is legally required to be able to receive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every entity has recurring obligations — a state annual report, a registered agent on file, and often licences and tax registrations. Compliance monitoring means STEPS holds the calendar of those dates, receives and scans the state mail, and tells you before each one falls due.

State annual reports, your registered agent, federal, state and local licences with their renewal dates, and sales and use plus reemployment tax registrations. Each one is stored with the documents behind it.

Some of them, yes. STEPS acts as your registered agent, prepares and files your state annual report when you add report filing, files licence applications and tracks each one to approval, and registers you for sales and use and reemployment tax. STEPS does not file tax returns — your accountant does that. STEPS does not guarantee compliance.

We tell you before each date falls due, and your dashboard shows what is expiring next. Anything that arrives from the state by post is scanned to your account the day it lands.

No. STEPS provides business and administrative support. It does not replace an attorney, CPA, or tax professional, and it does not provide legal or tax advice.

Yes. We obtain your EIN from the IRS without an SSN, act as your Florida registered agent so your entity has an address that can receive service of process, and scan everything that arrives to your dashboard. A U.S. business address is included with Platinum.

Two things recur immediately. Florida’s annual report is due every year — $138.75 for an LLC, $150.00 for a corporation — and registered agent service renews at $95/year after the first. Both sit on your calendar from the day you form.

Every formation package includes the compliance calendar and your first year of registered agent service. Pick one and the calendar is built from your formation date.

Never Miss a Filing Date Again.

Every formation package includes the compliance calendar and your first year of registered agent service.
