The Florida SOS maintains the official forms for creating and maintaining business entities: articles or certificates of formation, amendments, annual reports, registered-agent changes, foreign registration, and dissolution. Using the current official Florida form matters because an outdated or wrong-entity version gets rejected. We file the correct Florida formation or maintenance form for whatever you need so it is accepted the first time.
On the Florida Secretary of State's website, but the catalog is large and organized by entity type and action, so it is easy to grab the wrong one. The right form depends on your entity, LLC versus corporation, and exactly what you are changing. Rather than hunt through the Florida library, we identify and prepare the correct form for your specific situation.
Most Florida filings are available online now, which is faster than mail, though a few documents still require paper or a wet signature. Online filing also reduces rejection from handwriting or formatting. We file your Florida forms electronically where the state allows and handle the paper exceptions, returning the stamped result to your records.
Usually small things: a name that conflicts or lacks the right designator, a missing registered agent, an unsigned or wrong-version form, or an unpaid fee, and each rejection costs days. We review the Florida form against the state's requirements before submitting so it clears rather than bouncing back for a fixable error you did not know about.
Generally no: most Florida Secretary of State business filings do not require notarization, just an authorized signature, though a few specific documents or other agencies may. Assuming everything needs a notary slows you down. We tell you which Florida forms, if any, need more than a signature so you do not add steps that are not required.
Florida sets a fee per filing type, and it varies by form and entity, with expedited options costing more. Because the figures change, we show the current Florida fee before filing and pass it through at cost. Our service pricing is on the pricing page rather than quoted here where a number could go stale.
Formation forms, the articles or certificate, create the entity; maintenance forms keep it current, annual reports, amendments, agent changes, while closing forms end it. Mixing them up, filing an amendment when you needed an annual report, causes delays. We map which Florida forms your situation actually calls for so you file the right document.
Yes. We select the correct current Florida Secretary of State form, prepare it accurately, file it electronically where possible, pay the state fee at cost, and return the stamped confirmation, so you never have to decode the Florida forms library yourself. It removes the most common source of filing errors and delay.
The Florida SOS can reject a superseded form outright, or accept it and create a defect you discover later, either way costing time. States update forms and fee schedules periodically. We always use the current Florida version so your filing is not held up or invalidated by a form the state no longer accepts.
