Florida limited partnership formation

Form a Florida limited partnership (LP) with a certificate filing at Sunbiz when your structure needs general and limited partners.

  • Typical timeline

    Accepted filings commonly appear within one to two business days, depending on Sunbiz volume and whether corrections are requested.

  • State fees

    Florida charges a filing fee for limited partnership certificates. Our service fee covers preparation and filing only; state fees are separate.

What we file

A Florida limited partnership is formed by filing a certificate of limited partnership with the Division of Corporations. We prepare the certificate from your partner and address details, file it, and confirm when the LP is active on Sunbiz.

What is included

  • Guidance on LP naming and required certificate fields
  • Preparation and filing of the certificate of limited partnership
  • Status updates until the LP appears on Sunbiz
  • Optional Florida registered agent listed on the filing
  • Checklist for partnership agreement, EIN, and banking setup

Who it is for

Real estate and investment groups, family partnerships, and operators who specifically need a Florida LP rather than an LLC.
