Divisions

Corporations

The Division of Corporations is the State's central location for the filing of business entities, trade and service marks, judgment liens, and fictitious name and lien registrations. In essence, the Division provides a statewide registry and information resource for almost all business activity in Florida.

Although these filing functions are found in every state, the Division maintains the reputation of being the most innovative in the nation. Over the past decade, the Division has: pioneered the integration of its data bases with in-house automated filing systems, an electronic filing service, and created the first online public access network in the country - www.sunbiz.org – that increased public accessibility to Division records by 75 percent.
