As an LLC, your HealthTech company enjoys pass-through taxation, meaning profits are taxed at the individual owner level. Florida has no state personal income tax, a significant advantage. However, Florida does have a corporate income tax. For more details, see our guide on [setting up your Florida LLC](https://www.lovie.co/formation/resources/llc-formation/agency-florida). Understanding your federal obligations, combined with Florida’s specific regulations, is key. Lovie simplifies this by integrating directly with tax authorities.
