Businesses like LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits operating in Florida must submit an annual report to the state's Department of State. This report is a way to update essential business details, such as the registered agent's address, and involves a nominal fee. Service providers are available to assist you if you're looking for a worry-free solution to ensure your report is filed correctly and promptly.

The main goal of this report is to maintain current records of your business with the state for taxation reasons and to ensure that interested parties, like creditors, can easily contact you. This report won't cover changing your business's name; a different form is needed for that process.

To complete your annual report, you'll need several pieces of information:

• The addresses for your principal office and where you receive mail
• Your 12-digit document number from the state's Department of State
• Your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Valid credit/debit card, check
• Details about your registered agent, including their name, physical address, and an electronic signature

The deadline for submitting your annual report varies based on the type of your business entity.
