New Florida Broker Out of State Business Entity from California

[Rick Trivedi]

Hello BP fellow professionals,

We have been a boutique Real Estate brokerage in California for well over a decade. Due to various driving factors, we are in the process - at the final stages - to become a licensed Broker in Florida as well. Unfortunately there isn't a lot in terms of helpful documentation that I came across, would be grateful to the fellow community members. 

Question - Whats the best entity or a way to hold Brokers license in Florida for an out of state Broker? We have a long standing California corporation as a business entity - ideally if we could use that as an out of state entity to hold the FL broker license. Will highly appreciate insights, guidance, pointers... looking from legal as well as tax point of view.

Thanks much in advance
