Attached are the forms and instructions to form a Florida Limited Liability Company pursuant to Chapter 608, Florida Statutes. All information included in the Articles of Organization must be in English and must be typewritten or printed legibly. If this requirement is not met, the document will be returned for correction(s). The Division of Corporations suggests using the sample articles merely as a guideline. Pursuant to s. 608.407, Florida Statutes, additional information may be contained in the Articles of Organization. The name of a limited liability company must be distinguishable on the records of the Florida Department of State. A preliminary search for name availability can be made on the Internet through the Division's records at www.sunbiz.org. Preliminary name searches and name reservations are no longer available from the Division of Corporations. You are responsible for any name infringement that may result from your name selection. NOTE: This form for filing Articles of Organization is basic. Each limited liability company is a separate entity and as such has specific goals, needs, and requirements. Additionally, the tax consequences arising from the structure of a limited liability company can be significant. The Division of Corporations recommends that all documents be reviewed by your legal counsel. The Division is a filing agency and as such does not render any legal, accounting, or tax advice. The professional advice of your legal counsel to ascertain exact compliance with all statutory requirements is strongly recommended. Pursuant to s. 608.407, Florida Statutes, the Articles of Organization must set forth the following: ARTICLE I: The name of the limited liability company, which must end with the words "Limited Liability Company," the abbreviation "L.L.C.," or the designation "LLC." (The word "limited" may be abbreviated as "Ltd." and the word "company" may be abbreviated as "Co.") ARTICLE II: The mailing address and the street address of the principal office of the limited liability company. ARTICLE III: The name and Florida street address of the limited liability company's registered agent. The registered agent must sign and state that he/she is familiar with and accepts the obligations of the position. ARTICLE IV: The name and address of each Manager or Managing member. Insert "MGR" for each Manager. Insert "MGRM" for each Managing Member. IMPORTANT: Most financial institutions require this information to be recorded with the Florida Department of State.

ARTICLE V: If an effective date is listed, the date must be specific and cannot be more than five business days prior to or 90 days after the date of filing.
