🔎 Why scrape Florida Sunbiz?

Sunbiz is the public face of the Florida Division of Corporations — the official state registry where every corporation, LLC, non-profit and limited partnership doing business in Florida must file. Florida registers hundreds of thousands of new businesses every single year, and each filing is a public record carrying the company's name, status, entity type, addresses, registered agent and officers. That makes Florida Sunbiz data one of the richest, freshest, fully-public B2B lead sources in the United States.

The problem: the official Sunbiz business-entity search is built for one-off lookups. There is no bulk export, you can't filter by "newest filings," and clicking through result pages one company at a time doesn't scale. If you want a list of every LLC formed in Miami last week, the website will not give it to you.

This Florida Sunbiz scraper solves that. It reads the state's official bulk data feed, decodes the fixed-width records, de-duplicates them and hands you a ready-to-use table of Florida companies — complete with registered agent, full officer roster and FEI/EIN — in seconds. No captcha to fight, no page-by-page clicking, no account.

Common reasons people scrape Florida Sunbiz:

• Build a daily list of brand-new Florida businesses to pitch before competitors even know they exist.
• Generate B2B lead lists filtered by entity type, city or industry keyword.
• Pull registered agent and officer names as real, named contacts for outreach.
• Verify and enrich company records for KYC, due diligence and compliance.
• Look up specific entities by Sunbiz document number at scale.
• Track business-formation trends by type, city and time for research or newsletters.

✨ What this Florida Sunbiz scraper does

• 🆕 Newest filings first — grab the last N days of registry activity (daysBack) for the freshest leads, or set an exact startDate / endDate range going years back.
• 🏢 Every entity type — Florida LLCs, domestic & foreign profit / non-profit corporations, limited partnerships and more, with human-readable type labels.
• 📇 Full structured records — company name, status (active/inactive), entity type (filingType + filingTypeLabel), fileDate, principalAddress, mailingAddress, registeredAgent (name, type + address) and officers (title, title code, type, name, address — up to six, with a flag when more exist).
• 💳 FEI/EIN when filed — the federal Employer ID number is surfaced on entities that have one.
• 🎯 Powerful filters — by entity type, city, name keyword, active-only, or a list of specific document numbers; all applied server-side as the feed streams.
• 🔗 Direct Sunbiz links — every record includes sunbizUrl, a link straight to its official Sunbiz detail page.
• 🔁 Automatic de-duplication — every business is keyed by documentNumber; an entity appearing in more than one daily file is kept once.
• 📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull straight from the Sunbiz API (the Apify dataset API) into Google Sheets, Airtable, a CRM or a webhook.
• ⚡ Reliable & inexpensive — sourced from the state's official bulk feed over a resilient, auto-retrying connection, so runs are fast, cheap and don't break.

📥 Input

Configure the run from the Apify Console form or via JSON. Every field is optional — run with the defaults to pull the last 7 days of filings.

Field	Type	Description
daysBack	integer	Collect businesses from the last N days of registry activity, newest first (default 7). Ignored if you set an exact date range.

endDate	string	Exact end of the date range (YYYY-MM-DD).
filingTypes	array	Keep only these entity types — e.g. FLAL (Florida LLC), DOMP (Domestic Profit Corp), DOMNP (Non-Profit), FORL (Foreign LLC). Leave empty for all.
activeOnly	boolean	Skip inactive / dissolved entities (default false).
cities	array	Keep only businesses whose principal-address city matches one of these (e.g. ["Miami", "Orlando", "Tampa"]).
nameContains	string	Keep only businesses whose name contains this text (e.g. "consulting", "realty", "solar").
documentNumbers	array	Look up specific entities by their Sunbiz document number (searches within the chosen date range).
maxItems	integer	Stop after collecting this many businesses. Set 0 for no limit (default 1000).

📤 Output

Each Florida business is one row. Empty columns are omitted automatically, so your export only carries fields that are actually populated. Example — a real record from a verification run:

{
  "documentNumber": "L26000550570",
  "name": "J&Y PRO REMODELING GROUP LLC",
  "status": "Active",
  "filingType": "FLAL",
  "filingTypeLabel": "Florida Limited Liability Company",
  "fileDate": "2026-10-28",
  "principalAddress": {
    "address1": "3404 W LAMBRIGHT ST",
    "address2": "208",
    "city": "TAMPA",
    "zip": "33614"
  },
  "mailingAddress": {
    "address1": "3404 W LAMBRIGHT ST",

    "type": "Person",
    "address": { "address1": "3404 W LAMBRIGHT ST", "city": "TAMPA", "state": "FL", "zip": "33614" }
  },
  "officers": [
    {
      "title": "Authorized Member",
      "titleCode": "AMBR",
      "type": "Person",
      "name": "RODRIGUEZ JORGE",
      "address": { "address1": "3404 W LAMBRIGHT ST APT 208", "city": "TAMPA", "state": "FL", "zip": "33614" }
    }
  ],
  "moreThanSixOfficers": false,
  "sunbizUrl": "https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=DocumentNumber&searchTerm=L26000550570&documentNumber=L26000550570"

Output field reference

Coverage key (from a fresh 500-record run): 🟢 almost every record · 🟡 usually present · ⚪ depends on the entity

Field	Coverage	Description
documentNumber	🟢 100%	Sunbiz document / entity number (the natural key)
name	🟢 100%	Registered business name
status	🟢 100%	Active or Inactive
filingType	🟢 100%	Entity-type code (e.g. FLAL, DOMP, DOMNP, FORL)
filingTypeLabel	🟢 100%	Human-readable entity type (e.g. "Florida Limited Liability Company")
fileDate	🟢 100%	Formation / filing date (YYYY-MM-DD)
principalAddress	🟢 100%	Principal place of business — address1, address2, city, state, zip
mailingAddress	🟢 100%	Mailing address — address1, address2, city, state, zip, country
registeredAgent	🟢 100%	Registered agent — name, type (Person/Entity) and address
officers	🟡 ~93%	Officers / managers (up to 6) — title, titleCode, type, name, address
moreThanSixOfficers	🟢 100%	true when the entity lists more than six officers
sunbizUrl	🟢 100%	Direct link to the official Sunbiz detail page
feiEin	⚪	Federal Employer ID (NN-NNNNNNN) — present only on entities that have filed one; blank on most brand-new filings
lastReportYear	⚪	Most recent annual-report year — surfaced only when the feed populates it
lastTransactionDate	⚪	Date of the entity's most recent filing / transaction — surfaced only when the feed populates it

ℹ️ Honest coverage note: the daily filings feed leaves the annual-report and last-transaction columns blank, so lastReportYear and lastTransactionDate are usually absent; feiEin is filed by only a small share of entities (often foreign ones). These fields are omitted when empty rather than showing as mostly-blank columns — your JSON/CSV/Excel stays clean. All core identity and contact fields land at 100%.

🔁 Pagination & scale

There are no pages to click and no result cap to fight. The Florida Sunbiz scraper reads the state's official bulk feed as a set of daily data files (1,440-byte fixed-width records), processes them newest-first, and streams each file record-by-record so even wide date ranges stay fast and memory-light.

• Multi-day scans: a daysBack window — or an exact startDate / endDate range — can span a single day or many years. The Actor walks every daily file in range and merges the results into one dataset.
• Automatic de-duplication: every business is keyed by documentNumber, so an entity appearing in more than one file is kept once (most recent record wins). A verified run returned 500 records with 0 duplicates.
• Hundreds to thousands of records: Florida files thousands of new entities per week, so a typical fresh-leads run returns hundreds to thousands of de-duplicated rows; a wide date range returns tens of thousands.
• Fast & cheap: the verification run collected 500 businesses in ~7 seconds using ~1 MB of transfer — the scan stops cleanly the instant maxItems is reached (set 0 for no limit).

Because the data comes from the official bulk feed rather than the web search UI, there is no CAPTCHA, no per-page rate limit, no proxy and no login — throughput is limited only by how many records match your filters.

⚙️ How to use

1. Open the Actor on the Apify Console and click Start with the defaults, or paste one of the JSON inputs above.
2. Pick a window — the last N days (great for fresh leads) or an exact date range.
3. (Optional) Add filters — entity type, city, name keyword, active-only, or specific document numbers.
4. Run it — the Actor reads the official feed, decodes and de-duplicates the records.
5. Export — download JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull from the dataset API.
6. Automate — schedule a daily run to capture every new Florida business, and push results to Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.

You can also launch runs programmatically via the Apify API and poll the dataset — see the API tab for ready-made snippets.

💡 Tips

• Start with daysBack: 7 and maxItems: 100 to preview, then scale up once the columns look right.
• Combine entity type + city (e.g. filingTypes: ["FLAL"] + cities: ["Miami"]) for a tight, high-signal lead list.
• Use nameContains to focus on an industry — try realty, logistics, roofing, solar or consulting.
• Run on a daily schedule so every newly filed Florida business lands in your dataset automatically.
• Widen daysBack (or set a date range) when looking up a documentNumber so the entity's filing falls inside the window.
• Set maxItems: 0 for an uncapped historical pull across a startDate / endDate range.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Florida Sunbiz legal? This Actor reads the Florida Division of Corporations' official public bulk data feed — the same records behind the public business-entity search. It collects only public business-registration data. Use it responsibly and in line with applicable laws and the source's terms.

Where does the Florida Sunbiz data come from? Straight from the state's official corporate-registry bulk feed, decoded from the published fixed-width record spec — not by scraping the website's search pages.

How many results can I get and how fast? A verified run returned 500 de-duplicated records in ~7 seconds. A daysBack or date-range scan can return hundreds to thousands of businesses; a wide historical range returns tens of thousands. Control the ceiling with maxItems.

Do I need proxies or a login? No. The feed is public — no proxy, no account, no captcha, no rate-limit games.

Is there a Sunbiz API? There's no official public JSON API for bulk Sunbiz data, but this Actor effectively gives you one: run it and read the results from the Apify dataset API as JSON, or export to CSV/Excel.

Do I get registered agents and officers? Yes — the registeredAgent (name, type + address) and up to six officers (title, name, address), plus moreThanSixOfficers when more exist. In the verification run, officer sub-records had name, title and address at 100%.

Do I get owner emails or phone numbers? No. The registry does not publish emails or phone numbers, so those aren't available. You get business and officer/agent names plus mailing addresses.

Can I filter by entity type, city or name? Yes — use filingTypes, cities and nameContains. You can also restrict to active entities (activeOnly) or look up exact documentNumbers.

How fresh is the data? New filings appear in the daily feed, so you can pull businesses registered in the last few days. Historical daily data goes back many years.

Why are feiEin, lastReportYear or lastTransactionDate sometimes missing? Those columns are blank in the daily filings feed for most records (FEI/EIN is filed by only a small share of entities; report/transaction history isn't carried in the new-filings feed). Empty fields are omitted so your export stays clean.
