Every year at this time is when the Annual Report filing window opens. This is required any for-profit corporation, limited liability limited partnership, or limited liability limited partnership. Click here to read more on the Sunbiz website. We like to put out a gentle reminder for this because there is a wide window to submit your business’ information and pay before May 1st. Failing to do so may result in a $400 late fee. Here at Design Theory, we have this as a recurring calendar item in red and for the whole week to help remind us of this and ensure we take action. It doesn’t take long to perform this, especially if you don’t have many (if any changes) in the information about your business details, location, and managers.

Annual Report Fees

You may receive letters in the mail or even emails from companies requiring you to pay them to file your Annual Report for your business. Be careful on those because some may charge a fee to file on your behalf. And in this day of phishing and digital fraud, you should do your own research and diligence to ensure the authenticity of any solicitation and its merits. If you’re unsure if your business or organization should be paying or how to pay, be sure to contact a representative with the information below
