Yes, you can have multiple businesses under one LLC. This is a common strategy used by entrepreneurs who want to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and simplify their tax filings.
In the early 1980s Florida became the second state to authorize the formation of limited liability companies ("LLCs"). Now more than 100,000 LLCs are formed in Florida annually. One or more persons may form an LLC. A single-member LLC is allowed in Florida.
In most cases, the company's formational documents will contain a section with rules on how to dissolve the company. Often a vote of its members will be necessary. If there is no operating agreement extant, an alternative method allowed by Florida's LLC Act is the written consent of all the company's members.
Every Florida partnership having any partner subject to the Florida Corporate Income Tax Code must file Florida Form F-1065. A limited liability company with a corporate partner, if classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes, must also file Florida Form F-1065.
In most cases, the process includes: Drafting an amendment to add a new member. Holding a meeting with all LLC members. Voting to adopt the amendment. Updating your operating agreement (only if members vote to adopt the amendment)
Some examples of business ventures that commonly use the limited partnership structure include: Shopping malls, apartment complexes and other real estate businesses: With the limited partnership structure, businesses in the real estate industry can provide passive income from rent to the limited partners.
