FULL TRANSCRIPT [Edited for readability]

In this video. I'm going to show you how to update your annual report if you have an LLC or an S-Corp in the State of Florida. So the first thing we're going to do is go to Google and type in Sunbiz renewal. We're going to go to file the annual report. Now you're going to need your document number.

So open up a new tab and go to search.sunbiz.org and then go ahead and search by entity name and just put it in the name of your entity and click search now. Then you want to look for the name of your entity and then look for the document number and just cut and copy that into the previous screen with the document number and then click submit.

Then you're going to want to go ahead and make sure all the information is correct, and you can see the filing fee that you're going to need to pay today in order to renew your annual report. Scroll to the bottom at the bottom. If you want or need a certificate of status, go ahead and check off, yes. It's going to cost you a few dollars more if you do want the certificate, but if you don't need it or don't want it, then just go ahead and check off, "no."

And then click on the move on to the final review. Then go ahead and verify the information again, which is the same information on the previous page. And then go ahead and put your email in there twice. Typed the name of the individual signing here, which is your name, and then put the title and then finally click on move on to payment section.

Then you're going to see your fee amount scroll down, check off the type of payment you want to make, click continue and go ahead and put in your payment information, verify all of your information, and then click Submit Payment. You can go ahead and click the print button and save it for your records. If you need a copy of your annual report, go back to the previous page where we searched for your document number, and then go ahead and click refresh and then scroll down to the bottom. You'll see a list of all your previous annual reports, including the one you just filed.

And if you need to print a copy or save a copy to your desktop, you can click on the link next to each year and click view image in PDF format. And there you go. You have your annual report.
