Annual Reports Are Due in Florida


 

It is that time of year again. Any business that was created in Florida or is registered as a foreign entity in Florida must file its annual report with the Secretary of State here in Florida. The fee depends on the type of business you have.

The purpose of the annual report is to keep your information up to date with the Secretary of State. The type of information that must be provided is the business name, EIN of the business, the mailing address and principal place of business address (may be different than the mailing address), the registered agent of the business and either the officers of the business or the Board of Directors of the business. Note that the owners of the business do not need to be listed. Lawyer office in Pennsylvania. This allows the owners of the business to remain unknown.

It is important to file your annual report now before May 1st. On May 1st, the filing fee increases by $400 for all business entities. Further, if you do not file your annual report at all, then the State of Florida will administratively dissolve the business in mid-September. So if you want to maintain your business entity, make sure you pay your fee by mid-September, although it is much much cheaper to do so by May 1st.

At the same time you file your annual report with the State of Florida, it is also a great time to prepare the annual minutes for your corporate book. The annual minutes is simply a document that ratifies all the decisions of the business that were made the previous year and re-elects Directors and Officers for the upcoming year. If you do not have a corporate book, then please set up a consultation with me as soon as possible so that we may go over the importance of having a corporate book.
