Florida’s New Protected Series LLC: What Business Owners Should
Know
Under new Sections 605.2101 through 605.2802 of the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act, an existing or newly formed Florida LLC (the “parent”) can designate one or more protected series by filing with the Florida Department of State. Each series is not a separate legal entity in the way a subsidiary LLC would be, but it is treated like one for liability purposes, meaning the assets and debts of one series are generally shielded from the liabilities of other series and from the parent company itself, provided the statutory formalities are followed.
This is a genuinely useful new planning tool for the right business, but it requires precision in both formation and ongoing operation. If you’re considering a protected series LLC for existing or new businesses, it’s worth having counsel confirm both that the formation documents are correct and that your ongoing business practices will actually deliver the liability protection the
statute promises.
