The Florida Department of State’s Division of Corporations serves as the State of Florida’s official business entity index.
The Division is a ministerial filing agency with two broad functional services: formalizing the legal standing of a business or activity by accepting and indexing the filing or registration; and supplying information and certification regarding the filings and activities of record.
The Division maintains more than 8 million records and annually performs approximately 5 million activities.
