Florida corporation formation

Incorporate in Florida with Articles of Incorporation filed at Sunbiz - ready for shareholders, officers, and a registered agent on day one.

  • Typical timeline

    Accepted online filings commonly appear on Sunbiz within one to two business days, subject to state processing volume.

  • State fees

    Florida charges a filing fee for Articles of Incorporation. Our service fee covers preparation and filing; state fees are separate.

What we file

A Florida for-profit corporation is created by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Division of Corporations. We prepare the articles, submit them electronically, and confirm when your corporate document number is issued.

What is included

  • Name ending guidance (Inc., Corp., Corporation, and similar)
  • Preparation and filing of Articles of Incorporation
  • Status updates until the corporation appears on Sunbiz
  • Optional Florida registered agent listed on the Articles
  • Post-filing checklist for bylaws, EIN, and organizational minutes

Who it is for

Founders who want a traditional corporation structure, companies planning equity for investors, and operators who prefer Inc. branding over LLC.
