Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to register a business name in Florida?

Florida filing costs vary by entity type and filing purpose. A fictitious name registration generally has a lower state filing fee than forming an LLC or corporation through Sunbiz. Additional costs may apply for certified copies, certificates of status, registered agent services, amendments, or professional advisory support. Before filing, confirm the current fee schedule on the Florida Division of Corporations website.
