A Sunbiz e-file account is set up through the Florida Division of Corporation. It is a payment account similar to a debit account at a bank. You must deposit money into the account, and you can use the account to pay for business filings.
A Sunbiz e-file account is not for a one-time payment. It is used for businesses with ongoing filings.
1: You can set up a Sunbiz E-File Account by filing a Sunbiz account application and submitting it to the Florida Division of Corporations.
2: Submit with your application an account deposit (minimum $300) along with the Sunbiz account deposit slip. Make check or money order payable to the Florida Department of State.
3: Await approval and confirmation that your account has been accepted and set up.
If you are going to have multiple, continuous filings with the Division of Corporations, a Sunbiz e-file account will make it easier to pay for filings and can expedite your processing. Business entities with an account are allowed to fax all filings to the Division of Corporations, thus speeding up their processing time.
As your Florida registered agent, we generally suggest filing online, but not all forms can be submitted electronically. If your business will need to file multiple filings that are not currently supported through the DOC website, then a Sunbiz E-File account will be a good option.
