Florida Business Search
Florida Business Search is not the florida business search office
Quick answer. Florida Business Search is not a government agency. We do not issue certificates, we do not file documents, and we are not the office that keeps the florida business search record.
What Florida Business Search will not sign
Florida Business Search is not the Department of State and does not issue business tax receipts.
County pages on this site point at the local portal we have on file for that county. Confirm the fee and the current URL on that portal before you pay. Statewide entity status stays on Sunbiz.
Sunbiz, run by the Department of State at dos.fl.gov/sunbiz, is the entity and fictitious-name index. A florida sos business search in that sense starts at search.sunbiz.org. It shows formations and registered fictitious names. It does not show a Miami business tax receipt.
