In addition to providing certifying, and providing forms for, incorporation, the Department ensures that corporate names, fictitious names, trademarks, and service marks are not duplicated. They also cross-reference information with the Florida Department of Revenue on a regular basis to identify foreign entities doing business in Florida that are not registered with the Division of Corporation.
In addition, the Division offers a very helpful online business research service ("Sunbiz"). Using Sunbiz, people can directly access a database containing all of the fictitious name filings dating back to January, 1996, all corporation annual reports since January, 1996, and all corporation filings since November, 1997. A very useful resource, Sunbiz allows people to easily download, save and print copies of filed documents and forms for incorporation purposes.
