Our service
Corporate Form Filing (“we”, “us”) prepares and submits filings to the Florida Division of Corporations on your behalf, such as annual reports and fictitious name renewals. We charge a service fee for this work in addition to the state’s filing fee.
We are a private company. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Florida or the Florida Department of State. You can always file directly with the state at dos.fl.gov/sunbiz and pay only the state fee.
Agreeing to these terms
By placing an order you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you place an order for a business, you confirm that you can agree to these Terms for that business.
Fees and payment
Each order shows two amounts before you pay: the State of Florida’s filing fee and our service fee. The state fee is passed on to the state when we file. Prices are in U.S. dollars.
Payments are processed by Stripe. We don’t receive or store your full card number.
Filing and timing
We aim to file within one business day of payment, but we don’t promise a specific filing date. Some orders, such as registered agent or ownership changes, are reviewed by a person before filing and may take longer.
The state’s systems, processing times, decisions and fees are outside our control. If the state is unavailable, rejects a filing or asks for more information, we’ll contact you about next steps.
If we find the state already has the filing you ordered, we won’t file it again, and we’ll refund your order in full.
Cancellations and refunds
You can cancel for a full refund at any time before we submit your filing to the state. After it has been submitted it can’t be cancelled, and the state does not refund its filing fees. Our Refund Policy explains the details.
Automatic renewal
Automatic renewal is optional and off unless you tick the “Renew automatically” box at checkout. If you turn it on, you authorize us to file your next Florida annual report each year (or your fictitious name renewal every five years) on behalf of the business or registrant, using the state’s record as it stands at that time or the updates you send us, signed with the same signer’s name, and to charge the card you used at checkout the State of Florida’s filing fee and our service fee, each as in effect at that time. Each reminder notice states the exact amount before we charge, and if the amount changes after a notice we send a new notice and wait at least 7 days. Nothing is charged at checkout for future renewals.
We charge and file on or shortly after the first business day after January 1 of the filing year. We email you at least 30 days before (about 45 days before) and again about 7 days before, with the date, the exact amount and the card we’ll charge. If the amount changes, we email you the new amount at least 7 days before charging it, and we never charge more than the amount in our latest notice.
You can cancel at any time, with one click, from the link in any renewal email or on your order page; cancelling takes effect immediately and costs nothing. A renewal that has been paid but not yet filed can still be cancelled for a full refund. If the state’s record shows the filing is already done, or the business is no longer active, we don’t charge for that renewal and we tell you. If a charge fails, we email you a secure payment link and try again twice over the following week; after that, automatic renewal is paused until you pay or turn it back on.
No legal, tax or financial advice
We are a filing service, not a law firm or an accounting firm. Nothing on our website, in our emails or from our team is legal, tax or financial advice. If you need advice about your business’s obligations, talk to an attorney or accountant.
Emails and electronic communications
You agree to receive order receipts, status updates and the state’s confirmation by email, and that these electronic communications satisfy any requirement that they be in writing.
After we complete a filing, we may email you a reminder before the next one is due. Every reminder and every renewal notice includes a one-click unsubscribe link. If you turned on automatic renewal, you’ll also get the renewal notices described above; those include a one-click link to cancel automatic renewal.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to an order is limited to the service fee you paid us for that order. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for penalties, late fees or other consequences that result from information you provided, from deadlines that had already passed when you ordered, or from the state’s actions or delays.
Our service is provided “as is”. We do our best to keep the website accurate and available, but we can’t guarantee it will always be error-free or uninterrupted.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they last changed. The Terms in effect when you place an order apply to that order.
