Florida business formation statistics

About 2,429 new business entities are registered in Florida per business day. That is the average across the 60 days ending 2026-10-16, drawn from 408,056 Florida filings indexed from official Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Department of State records. The latest complete month is August 2026, with 60,511 new filings.

New business filings by month

Complete months only. A month appears here once the state's own publishing has run past the end of it, so a slow upstream feed is never reported as a decline.

Month	New filings	Change
August 2026	60,511	n/a
June 2026	65,980	+2.6%
May 2026	64,313	-11.3%
April 2026	72,500	n/a

Not shown: July 2026 (we hold 20 of 23 business days), September 2026 (the state published no weekend filing files that month (8 of 8 weekend dates absent on its own server), so weekend filings are 0.0% of the month against about 8% normally and the month would read as a false drop). Each points to a gap or irregularity in our own collection rather than a change in Florida filing activity, so those months are left out rather than published with a misleading total.

How this is measured

• Source. Official Florida business registry records published by the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Department of State, collected daily. Nothing here is modeled or estimated.
• Coverage. Our Florida index begins 2026-03-30. Earlier months are not shown because our collection, not the state's activity, would explain the numbers.
• Settlement. States publish on their own schedules and some run weeks behind. Data for Florida is settled through 2026-10-16, and only months fully inside that are published.
• Counting. One row per filed entity. We collect operating-business entity types: LLCs, corporations, professional entities such as PLLCs and PCs, limited partnerships and LLPs. The exact set of types each state publishes differs, so the mix is not identical across states and these totals are not a like-for-like ranking between them.
• Business day. Rates use weekdays only, since registries post on weekdays.

Official Florida business registry records published by the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Department of State, collected daily by AlphaLeads and refreshed weekly on this page.
