About this site

About FileMyFlorida and our editorial policy

An independent information site under new ownership since November 2026, with an open research policy and no claim to be the State.

FileMyFlorida is an independent guide to Florida business filings, under new ownership as of November 2026. We publish plain-English explanations of entity filings, annual reports, licensing questions and selected construction paperwork. We are not the State of Florida, Sunbiz or any government agency.

A new site, not the previous filing service

This domain previously hosted a filing service. The current website is a new, independently operated information resource. We do not represent the previous owners, do not claim their work as ours and do not present their customers or results as evidence of our experience. Older links may now lead to newly written guides about the same topic.

We cannot retrieve a past order, confirm a payment to a former operator or tell you whether a historical filing was accepted. For an entity record, start with Sunbiz. For a concern about this website’s content, use our current contact details. Do not send payment-card information or private identity documents.

Who writes the guides?

Our editorial byline is FileMyFlorida editors. We do not invent staff biographies, professional credentials, customer reviews or filing totals. A guide is not presented as advice from a lawyer, accountant, insurance agent or government employee. If a particular decision needs one of those professionals, the page should say so.

Our aim is practical: explain the task, distinguish similar-looking records and make it easier to reach the responsible agency. The filing guide directory describes what we cover. It is not a menu of services currently available for purchase.

How we research and verify

  1. Identify the specific filing, entity type and agency instead of assuming that one answer fits every business.
  2. Read the responsible agency’s instructions and use Florida statutes or federal guidance for the material rules being explained.
  3. Check material fees, deadlines and eligibility conditions against primary sources. If a detail cannot be supported, omit it or explain the uncertainty.
  4. Separate statewide requirements from local implementation and separate government charges from optional private help.
  5. Link the sources so readers can inspect the current rule and follow the agency’s current instructions before submitting.

For example, the annual-report guide should distinguish an entity record update from a tax return. The contractor qualification guide should not suggest that forming an LLC grants a contractor license. The permit exemption guide should explain limits rather than turn a narrow exception into a blanket promise.

Dates, corrections and editorial limits

Pages display an updated date and a verified date. These identify the editorial check, not a guarantee that no rule has changed since. Agency instructions and application screens can change, and local authorities may apply facts that a general guide cannot determine. A future filing season’s operating calendar should not be described as published before it actually is.

If you find an error, email the page address, the statement at issue and the primary source you believe changes the answer. We will review corrections against the source rather than accept unsupported claims. We do not promise a response time or individualized research for every message.

We may revise a guide when a source changes, when an error is identified or when the explanation needs to be clearer. A small copy edit does not mean that every source on the page has been rechecked. Material factual review should be reflected honestly in the verification date.

Business model and independence

The site currently offers information and an optional free deadline reminder signup. There are no display ads or filing checkout on this version. Done-for-you filing is coming soon from FileMaven. We do not describe that future service as already operating, quote an unapproved price or make it a condition of using the guides.

You can file directly with Sunbiz or the responsible agency without purchasing private help. Links to those routes should remain visible. If paid services or advertising are introduced later, relevant disclosures and policies should be updated before the change affects readers.

Not legal or tax advice

These pages explain general procedures. They do not choose your legal structure, resolve an ownership dispute, determine tax treatment or establish insurance coverage. Read the terms of use and privacy policy for more about using the site. For your own decision, consult the agency and any appropriately qualified adviser your situation requires.
