Sunbiz Florida New Business Filings: Daily LLC and Corporation Feed

Get the Florida LLCs, corporations, nonprofits and fictitious names (DBAs) from the state's daily filing files, as clean JSON records. The state publishes files on weekends as well as weekdays. The data comes from the official daily data files that the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations publishes for public download. The Actor uses no browser and does not scrape the Sunbiz search website.

Use it to:

• find new Florida businesses for B2B outreach, such as accounting, insurance, banking, web design or payroll services;
• watch a ZIP code or city for new companies;
• track name changes, mergers and other corporate events;
• feed a CRM or spreadsheet automatically every morning.

What you get from the Sunbiz daily files

Record type (recordTypes)	What it is	Source file
corporations (default)	Corporations, LLCs, nonprofits, limited partnerships and trusts added to the state record that day	daily corporate data file
corporate_events	Amendments, mergers, conversions, name changes, dissolutions and other filed events	daily corporate event file
fictitious_names	Fictitious name (DBA) registrations	daily fictitious name file
fictitious_events	DBA amendments, cancellations, owner and address changes	daily fictitious name event file

Each corporation record contains:

• document number, name, status, filing type and entity type (llc, corporation, nonprofit, limited_partnership, trust, ...);
• domestic or foreign;
• file date, and last transaction date when the state fills it in (see Data notes);
• FEI number, when filed;
• principal and mailing address (see Data notes about the principal state);
• registered agent, when it is a company;
• officer and manager roles;
• up to three annual report years.

Every record also includes feedDate, sourceFile, source, attribution and retrievedAt.

Privacy by design: this Actor does not output personal data of individuals. For officers, managers, registered agents and DBA owners who are people, you get their role (for example "President" or type: person), not their name or address. Company officers and registered-agent companies are output in full. DBAs owned only by individuals show city, state, ZIP and county, but not the street. Federal tax lien data is never accessed.

Responsible use: small businesses may list a residential address as their principal or mailing address. You must follow the FCRA, TCPA and CAN-SPAM, and you must not use this data for consumer eligibility decisions (credit, employment, insurance or housing).

How much does it cost?

Pricing is pay per result, with no start fee and no subscription:

Result	Price
Corporation or fictitious name record	$2.00 per 1,000 results ($0.002 each)
Corporate or fictitious event record	$1.00 per 1,000 results ($0.001 each)

You are charged only for records written to your dataset. Files, filtered-out records and duplicates are free. maxResults and your run's maximum cost per run both stop the run cleanly.

A day's corporate file holds a few thousand records. For example, the 2026-10-27 file had 2,756, which is about $5.51 for the whole file. That is why maxResults defaults to 5, which caps a run at $0.01 for corporation records. An empty input {} or the prefilled Console input therefore costs about $0.01. Set a higher number, or 0 for the whole file.

Input: Florida LLC and corporation filters

With an empty input you get the newest daily corporations file, normally the previous day's filings.

{}

New LLCs in the Miami area (ZIPs starting with 331), active only, for one date:

{
  "recordTypes": ["corporations"],
  "date": "2026-10-27",
  "entityTypes": ["llc"],
  "status": "active",
  "zipPrefixes": ["331"],
  "maxResults": 1000
}

A week of everything, filtered by name keywords:

{
  "recordTypes": ["corporations", "corporate_events", "fictitious_names", "fictitious_events"],
  "startDate": "2026-10-19",
  "endDate": "2026-10-27",
  "nameKeywords": ["roofing", "construction"],
  "maxResults": 0
}

Field	Meaning
recordTypes	One or more of corporations, corporate_events, fictitious_names, fictitious_events. The default is corporations.
date	One file date, YYYY-MM-DD. If both date and a range are empty, the newest file is used.
startDate, endDate	A date range of up to 31 days, processed newest first. The state publishes files for weekend days too. A day with no file (for example a state holiday, or a file not published yet) is skipped and listed under missingDates in the run summary.
entityTypes	llc, corporation, nonprofit, limited_partnership, trust, registered_agent_designation, other. Applies to corporations only.
filingTypes	Raw state codes, for example FLAL (Florida LLC), DOMP (domestic for-profit), FORL (foreign LLC). Applies to corporations only.
status	any (default), active or inactive. Applies to corporation and fictitious name records; event records are not filtered by status.
zipPrefixes	Keeps records whose ZIP starts with any of these, for example 331 or 33139.
cities	Exact city names, case-insensitive.
counties	Florida county names. Only DBA records carry a county, so setting this drops corporation records. Use zipPrefixes or cities for corporations.
nameKeywords	Keeps records whose name contains any of these words, case-insensitive.
maxResults	Stops after this many charged records. The default is 5, also when the field is left empty or omitted; 0 means no limit.
onlyNewSinceLastRun	For schedules: continues where earlier runs stopped. Files read to the end are skipped; a file cut short by maxResults or the maximum cost is continued after the last charged record, so no record is charged twice. Off by default.

Data notes

These come from checking the real daily files from 2026-10-21 to 2026-10-27.

• Principal state and country are blank in the state's corporate file. The state leaves these two fields empty in the corporate records, while the principal street, city and ZIP are filled. The Actor keeps them null rather than guessing. For the state, use mailingAddress.state, which is filled for most records, or homeStateOrCountry, the state or country of formation. DBA records do carry a state.
• lastTransactionDate is usually blank. In the 2026-10-27 file the state filled it in for fewer than 1% of records, mostly existing entities that filed again. For brand-new filings it is null; use fileDate.
• nameChanged on corporate events is true when the state's name-change flag is set or when the event code or description is a name change (codes ending in NC, such as CORLCNC, or "NAME CHANGE"). nameChangeSource tells you which (flag or eventCode), and nameChangeFlag holds the raw flag.
• Country codes are upper-cased (Us becomes US). When the second street line only repeats a unit already in the first line (for example UNIT 105L, or 304 after APT 304), street2 is null.

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it through the Apify API. Each run also saves a RUN_SUMMARY record in its key-value store, listing files processed, counts, skipped dates and the stop reason. When a line in a file has the wrong length, a REJECTS record lists its file and line number.

Scheduling: run it after midnight Eastern

The state publishes daily files on weekends as well as weekdays (for example, there were files for Saturday 2026-10-24 and Sunday 2026-10-25). The files usually appear late in the evening, around 10:30 PM Eastern. Schedule the Actor for after midnight ET, for example 1:00 AM ET every day, so that the previous day's file is complete.

To avoid paying twice for the same records on a schedule, turn on onlyNewSinceLastRun. A run that stops early at maxResults or the cost limit is continued by the next run from the next record; no record is charged twice.

Use it from n8n, Make or Zapier

Run the Actor through the Apify API and read the dataset items:

• with Apify's Make, Zapier or n8n integrations, or
• with a plain HTTP request to the Apify API's "run Actor synchronously and get dataset items" endpoint.

A typical flow: a daily 1:00 AM ET schedule runs the Actor with your filters, then sends the new rows to a CRM or a spreadsheet. The Apify Console's API tab for this Actor shows the exact endpoint URLs.

FAQ

Is this every new business in Florida? It is what the state puts in its daily files. The state describes them as the filings added to its record that day. Use fileDate and filingType to focus on new entities.

How current and accurate is the data? It is exactly what the state publishes, provided "as is". The state warns that in the data files, "data for addresses and listed officers may not reflect the most current information on sunbiz.org because of the limited space in the file." The state's own records are authoritative.

Why are some officer and owner names missing? By design, the Actor does not output names, addresses or other details of individual people. It does output company officers, registered-agent companies and entity owners.

Why did I get 0 results? Common reasons:

• There is no file for that date (for example a state holiday), or it has not been published yet. The state does publish weekend files.
• Your filters are too narrow.
• onlyNewSinceLastRun skipped files that were already processed, or continued files that were partly delivered.

Check the RUN_SUMMARY record.

Does it cost money when nothing matches? No. Only records written to the dataset are charged, and there is no start fee.

What happens if the state server is down? If the state server refuses the connection, does not answer, rejects the login or fails in any other way, the run still succeeds and returns one free row with recordType: "status", status: "error" and a message starting "Not charged". Records delivered before the error are kept.

What happens if my input is invalid? For example an unknown recordTypes value, a bad date, a range over 31 days or a field of the wrong type: nothing is downloaded, no connection is opened, and the run still succeeds with one free row {"recordType": "status", "status": "error", "errorType": "InvalidInput", "stage": "input", "statusRow": true, "charged": false, "message": "Invalid input, nothing was fetched or charged: <reason>", ...}. Nothing is charged.

How long does a small run take? Runs with maxResults from 1 to 100 (including {} and the prefilled input) have a time budget: each connection or read step gets 10 seconds, the connection is tried at most twice, no new attempt or file is started after 40 seconds, and the run stops reading at 50 seconds at the latest. Larger runs allow 30 seconds per step and 3 attempts, and stop starting new work 30 seconds before the run timeout. A run stopped by the time budget keeps the records it delivered (and, with onlyNewSinceLastRun, its place in the file) and still succeeds; RUN_SUMMARY shows the budget under timeBudget. If the hard stop cuts a read short, the run also returns the free status row described above.

How far back can I go? The state keeps a rolling set of recent daily files on its server, and this Actor reads only what is there. One run can cover up to 31 days.

Can I search for a specific company by name? This Actor is a daily feed, not a search engine. nameKeywords filters within the daily files.

Is it legal to use this data for marketing? Florida publishes this data as public record. You are responsible for how you use it. Calls, texts and emails must comply with the TCPA, the National Do Not Call Registry, CAN-SPAM and the Florida Telemarketing Act. This Actor gives no legal advice.

Limits

• Data comes only from the official daily files, never from the Sunbiz search site, so there are no detail-page fields such as document images.
• General partnership and quarterly full-snapshot files are not supported.
• Date ranges are limited to 31 days per run.
• Field lengths in the state files are fixed, so long names or addresses can be cut off by the state.
