Nonprofit Corporation Formation Service Florida

When you're starting a Florida non-profit, it's smart to do a little research first. You'd find out that Florida requires any charities that solicit contributions to register with the Division of Consumer Services plus a considerable amount of paperwork, forms, fees and applications.

The starting of a non-profit is no light task. Therefore, the advice and direction of a professional accounting firm is recommended. A vast number of non-profit status applications are denied each year due to the language use in describing your corporation to incomplete articles of incorporation to financial statements.

To avoid these obstacles, our company does a painstaking detailed checklist insuring ALL “I’s” ARE DOTTED and “T’s” ARE CROSSED insuring you’re your application is completed properly for acceptance.
