⚖️ Florida Business Owners: Big Legal Changes Are Coming in 2026 — Is Your Business Ready?
The Florida Legislature just wrapped its 2026 session, and the ripple effects on Florida businesses are significant. Here's what you need to know:
📌 Protected Series LLCs Are Now a Reality Effective July 1, 2026. Florida will allow protected series LLCs — meaning a single LLC can have multiple series, each with its own assets and liability shield. This is a game-changer for real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and multi-venture business owners. But strict recordkeeping is required to preserve those protections.
📌 The CHOICE Act — Non-Competes Just Got Stronger.
Florida's CHOICE Act extended non-compete periods up to 4 years and removed geographic restrictions for qualifying employees. Courts are now required to automatically issue injunctions upon breach. If your business relies on confidentiality or client relationships, your agreements need a review — now.
💡 Florida's legal landscape is shifting fast. Whether you're structuring a new entity, updating employment agreements, or protecting your business interests — the time to act is now.
