There is a new form of identity theft in Florida, and it is affecting businesses and the information they have on file with the State of Florida. You need to be aware of this latest scam and how to prevent it from happening to your business.
All business entities in the state (like corporations and limited liability companies) must register with the state’s Division of Corporations, the keeper of the official records for all business entities in the State of Florida. The information kept on file by the Division of Corporations, which includes a company’s name, address, and names and addresses of owners/directors, is public and available to anyone who logs into the Division of Corporations’ website at www.sunbiz.org.
