Why Florida (USA)?

LATAM bound founders building from Miami

Florida pairs no personal income tax with deep Spanish speaking talent and direct flights across Latin America. Stripe and Mercury onboard same day; Miami's banking corridor is built around cross border USD flows.

Real estate, hospitality and short stay operators

Florida LLCs taxed as pass throughs pay 0% state corporate tax; only C-corps owe the 5.5% Florida Department of Revenue rate. The state has no franchise tax for LLCs, which fits asset holding and operating SPVs.

Retired or relocated founders moving residency south

Personal residency in Florida means 0% state income tax on salaries, capital gains and distributions. Pairs cleanly with a Florida LLC for owner operators who have left California or New York.

Considerations

If institutional VC matters more than tax

Florida is recognised but not the US VC default. Series A term sheets routinely require a Delaware C-corp flip. If you plan to raise from tier-1 funds, start there.

If you need a non US EU operating base

Florida only covers US tax. For EU customers, VAT registration, MiCA (EU crypto framework) or PSD2 passporting, you need an EU entity.
