Starting a Business in Florida / Doing Business in Florida
Whether you are starting a new business in Florida, moving
an existing business to Florida from another state, or already
operating a business in Florida, you will need to be aware
of the various registration and licensing requirements which
are applicable to your business. This includes registering
with the appropriate state regulatory authorities, contacting
the Florida Department of Revenue to obtain the required
tax information, and applying for occupational licenses.
The Florida Business Guide, published by State of Florida.com,
provides a detailed list of Florida business requirements,
along with step-by-step instructions for correctly registering
your business.
Seeking to incorporate your
business?
Whether your corporation is a for-profit company or
a nonprofit entity, you will need to register this
with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
If you already have an out-of-state corporation and
plan on using your corporate name in Florida, you must
also complete a Florida registration process. Other
types of business entities, including sole proprietorships,
LLC's (Limited Liability Company) and fictitious names,
must also be registered in order to conduct their business
activities in Florida.
