About This Document
This Articles of Organization template is designed to officially create your Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the State of Florida. It establishes a Manager-Managed structure, meaning that designated managers — rather than all members — handle the company's daily operations. This structure is ideal when owners prefer not to be involved in everyday management or want to delegate that responsibility to others.
Who Should Use This Template
Startup founders forming a Florida LLC where managers will operate the business
Investors setting up an LLC but intending to remain silent members
Small businesses where professional managers, rather than owners, oversee operations
Partnerships planning to add external management in the future
What the Template Includes
Required fields for your LLC name, registered agent, and principal place of business
A default "any lawful purpose" business purpose clause
Clear identification of a manager-managed structure
Member and manager rights and limitations of liability
Indemnification protections for members and managers
Dissolution procedures if the LLC ever needs to be closed
Editable Word format for easy filling and modification
Instructions for Completing the Template
Insert your LLC’s full legal name, ensuring it complies with Florida naming rules (e.g., must include "LLC" or "L.L.C.").
Fill in your principal place of business address, which can be within or outside Florida.
Provide a mailing address for official communications (can match principal address or be different).
Designate a Registered Agent located in Florida and obtain their written consent to serve.
List all initial members of the LLC with their full legal names.
Confirm that the management structure is Manager-Managed (already pre-set in the document).
Customize the sections on indemnification, amendments, and dissolution if your Operating Agreement or unique needs require it.
Review thoroughly to ensure accuracy before filing with the Florida Department of State.
Important Reminder
This document is provided as a template to assist with standard LLC formation needs in Florida.
It does not constitute legal advice. You should consult a qualified attorney to review and tailor the Articles of Organization for your specific business circumstances before filing.
