Annual reports are due by May 1st  

Only a few weeks away! Annual reports are due by May 1st. An annual report must be filed each year for your business to maintain an “active status.” If this report is not received by May 1st, the state of Florida will add a $400 fine to the standard fees. If the report isn’t filed by mid-September, the state will dissolve or revoke the company. 

We try to contact all our clients, but our list is getting long! Can you help us by letting us know if you have already filed your report? If you need our assistance or have any questions with the annual report, please contact us and we will be happy to help. You can reach us at support@licensesetc.com. Please be sure to include your company name. 

How to File Your Annual Report 

Before May 1st, the standard fee to file an annual report for a corporation is $150 and $138.75 for a limited liability company. After May 1st, the fee for a corporation will cost $550 and a limited liability company will cost $538.75. This extra $400 fee is completely avoidable. 

When filing the report, you can change any information that needs updating. Information that can be updated includes names of officers, directors, managers and managing members; physical and mailing addresses of the company, the registered agent and registered office address; and the federal employer’s identification number. You can add, delete, or change all this information, and the changes are in effect immediately. Double-check your newly added information by making sure everything is spelled correctly. If there is a typing error, you will have to file an amendment, and this will cost an additional $35.
