📋 What’s Included in Our Foreign Registration Service
We handle every step to help you register your out-of-state or international company as a legal foreign entity in Florida:
✅ 1. Business Name Verification
We check whether your existing business name is available in Florida.
If it conflicts with an existing Florida entity, we can help you to register a fictitious name (DBA).
✅ 2. Certificate of Existence
We assist you in obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing (also called a Certificate of Existence or Status) from your home state or country — required for foreign qualification.
✅ 3. Filing of Foreign Entity Application
We prepare and submit the appropriate form:
- Application by Foreign LLC
- Application by Foreign Corporation
These forms must include details like:
- Business origin
- Principal office address
- Florida registered agent
- Nature of business operations in Florida
✅ 4. Registered Agent Service
All foreign entities are required to appoint a Florida registered agent. We can serve as your agent or help you designate one.
✅ 5. Licensing and Tax Registration
Once registered, we can help you apply for:
- Florida business licenses or permits (based on your industry)
- Sales tax number (if applicable)
- Local tax receipts (county-level registration)
