How Do You Register an LLC Through Sunbiz?
A business owner can register a limited liability company through Sunbiz by accessing the Sunbiz website, checking the availability of the business name and e-filing articles of organization. Sunbiz is the electronic filing and certification portal for the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations, explains the organization's official website.
Entrepreneurs can register a new LLC in Florida by accessing the state's business registration system at Sunbiz.org. Choosing the link to Look Up a Business Name allows a new business owner to check if the business name the owner wants to use is available and not already in use by another entity. Clicking on the Inquire by Name link allows the user to run a database search of the department's current business registrations for duplicates.
New business owners officially register an LLC through Sunbiz by clicking on the Electronic Filing link and selecting the New Florida Limited Liability Company or LLC link under the On-Line Filing section. The link allows the user to fill out a form that generates articles of organization for a new LLC, processes payment for the service and files the paperwork with the department. The form requests basic information, such as the mailing address of the new business and the name and address of the person authorized to manage the entity. When the department accepts the filing, it officially registers the new business, explains Sunbiz.org.
