Creating LLCs, PLCs, LLPs & More.

Company Formation on Sunbiz

The Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz.org) is the state’s official portal for business registration. Filing correctly on this platform is the first step to making your business legally recognized.

We assist entrepreneurs with the complete formation process for:

• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs): The most popular option for small to medium businesses. LLCs combine liability protection with flexible management and simplified tax reporting.
  
• Corporations (Inc.): Best for businesses seeking outside investors or planning to issue stock. Corporations have more formal structures but can offer significant advantages for growth.
  
• Fictitious Names (DBAs): Required if you plan to operate under a trade name that isn’t your personal name or your entity’s legal name.
  

Our role goes beyond filing paperwork. We:

• Prepare and submit all required documents to Sunbiz.
  
• Confirm business name availability before registration.
  
• Provide registered agent services, which Florida law requires for every LLC and corporation.
  
• Deliver copies of your filed documents for your records.
  
• Guide you step by step to ensure you understand responsibilities such as annual filings, state fees, and maintaining compliance.
  

With ProLegal Support, your business is set up correctly from day one, reducing the risk of delays or compliance issues.

Annual Report Filings

Every Florida business entity must file an Annual Report by May 1st of each year to maintain “active” status.

Key details business owners should know:

• Who must file: All LLCs, corporations, limited partnerships, and nonprofits. Sole proprietors without a registered entity do not file.
  
• What it does: Updates or confirms your company’s information — principal address, officers/managers, and registered agent.
  
• What it’s not: The Annual Report is not a tax filing. It’s purely a compliance requirement with the Division of Corporations.
  
• Penalty for missing the deadline: $400 late fee for LLCs and corporations. Nonprofits pay a smaller fee, but all entities risk administrative dissolution if the filing is not completed.
  

How ProLegal Support helps you stay compliant:

• We track filing deadlines and notify you before May 1st.
  
• We review and update your company records (addresses, managers, ownership changes).
  
• We file your Annual Report accurately and on time, so you avoid penalties and keep your entity active.

After Formation: Ongoing Business Responsibilities

Forming your company is only the first step. Once your business is active on Sunbiz, you must also stay compliant with Florida’s broader requirements for employers. One of the most important obligations for many business owners is Workers’ Compensation coverage.

In Florida:

• Construction businesses must carry Workers’ Compensation as soon as they hire their first employee.
  
• Most other industries are required to have coverage with four or more employees.
  
• Failure to comply can result in costly fines, stop-work orders, or lawsuits.
  

At ProLegal Support, we not only assist with company formation and annual filings — we also guide business owners through their compliance obligations after registration. From Workers’ Compensation filings to maintaining proper documentation, we help you protect both your company and your employees.
