Foreign Non For Profit Corporation

Foreign Non For Profit Corporation Name
 
• Must include the word "INCORPORATED" or "CORPORATION" or words or abbreviations of like import in language as will clearly indicate that it is a corporation instead of a natural person or partnership if not so contained in the name at present. "Company" or "Co." may not be used as a corporate suffix by a nonprofit corporation

Any entity that transacts business in Florida as a corporation is required by Florida Statutes to file documents of incorporation or authorization with the Division and pay the filing fee.
The documents must be typewritten or printed legibly in the English language. The professional advice of your legal counsel to ascertain exact compliance with all statutory requirements is strongly recommended.
Each year after the initial filing, all corporations must file a Uniform Business Report and pay the filing fee between January 1 and May 1. Failure to file a Uniform Business Report will result in administrative dissolution of the corporation and loss of authorization to transact business as a corporation in Florida.
Supplies such as minute books, stationery, stock certificates and corporate seals are available through office supply stores. There are no laws requiring corporations to obtain any of these. Some financial institutions and title companies require a corporate seal on documents signed by a corporation and are within their rights to do so.
