New Business Registration in Kissimmee, FL
LLC, corporation and non-profit formation, EIN, Florida registrations and local business tax receipts.
In Kissimmee, new businesses range from cleaning companies and food trucks to vacation-rental management and construction. Depending on what you do, you may need a City of Kissimmee receipt, an Osceola County receipt, a Florida sales tax account and — for rentals — a tourist development tax account. We handle each one, in Spanish or English.
Starting a business in Florida takes more than one form. You need the right entity on Sunbiz, an EIN from the IRS, a Florida sales tax or reemployment tax account if they apply, and business tax receipts from your city and county. Doing them in the wrong order — or skipping one — causes delays and penalties later.
We help you choose the structure that fits your plans, file your formation documents, obtain your EIN and complete the state and local registrations, then set up your books and payroll so you are ready to operate from day one.

Local facts — Kissimmee
- Combined sales tax in Osceola County is 7.5% (6% state + 1.5% county surtax) — one of the higher rates in Central Florida.
- Vacation and short-term rentals in Osceola County collect the 6% Osceola Tourist Development Tax in addition to sales tax.
- Businesses inside Kissimmee city limits usually need a City of Kissimmee Business Tax Receipt plus an Osceola County Local Business Tax Receipt.
- The county surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item of tangible personal property — a detail that matters for equipment and vehicle purchases.

Straight answers to the most common questions about taxes and running a business in Florida. Don’t see yours? Call or send us a WhatsApp.
LLC or corporation — which is better?
For most small businesses in Florida, an LLC is simpler and more flexible, and it can still elect S-corporation tax treatment later. A corporation may make sense if you plan to bring in investors or issue stock. We explain the trade-offs based on your plans.
Can I register a business without a Social Security number?
You can form a Florida LLC without an SSN. To obtain an EIN, the responsible party generally needs an SSN or ITIN, and there is a separate IRS process for applicants without either. We will walk you through the options.
How long does it take to open an LLC in Florida?
Online Sunbiz filings are often approved within a few business days, and an EIN can usually be issued the same day once the LLC exists. Local business tax receipts and state tax accounts can take longer depending on the city and county.
Do you serve Kissimmee clients in Spanish?
Yes — completely. Our whole team is bilingual, so you can do your consultation, review your return and ask every question in Spanish.
I moved from Puerto Rico. How do I file my first Florida-year return?
The year you move is usually a split year: income earned while you were a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico is generally reported to Hacienda, and income earned after becoming a Florida resident is reported to the IRS. Florida itself has no state income tax. Bring your W-2s, 499R-2 forms and your moving date and we will sort out what goes where.
