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.

MonthNew filingsChange
August 202655,517n/a
May 202658,499-10.8%
April 202665,566n/a

Not shown: June 2026 (we hold 15 of 22 business days), July 2026 (we hold 18 of 23 business days). Our collection missed days in those months, so a total would understate real filing activity. It is left out rather than published low.

Where does this Florida business formation data come from?

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. Nothing here is modeled, sampled or estimated. A month is published only once Florida has finished publishing it, so a slow state feed is never shown as a fall in business formation.

Want the underlying records, not the totals?

The daily feed is every one of these filings as a CSV, 24 to 72 hours after it hits the registry, with the business name, owner or agent where published, mailing address, entity type and industry classification. Pro adds a verified company website, email and phone where one exists.
