# Florida

Company data from the Florida business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Florida Division of Corporations, Bulk File and Florida Division of Corporations, Live Search and returns the company profile, legal representatives and other key persons of Florida companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |
| Legal representatives | Yes |
| Other key persons | Yes |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | Yes |
| Financials | No |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Florida Corporation Detail (printed)
- Articles of Incorporation / Organization

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 1 s in prefill mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.

## Sources

The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

- **[Florida Division of Corporations, Bulk File](https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/other-services/data-downloads/)**: Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations: bulk distribution of the Corporate Data File. Public dataset covering every active Florida corporation, LLC, limited partnership, non-profit corporation, and declaration of trust. Quarterly full snapshot and daily deltas, distributed as fixed-width ASCII files.
- **[Florida Division of Corporations, Live Search](https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName)**: Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations: the public search.sunbiz.org register. Queried at request time to (a) search the register directly by name or document number, so entities registered too recently to appear in the Corporate Data File are still findable, (b) retrieve full officer and director rosters for entities whose bulk record exceeds the 6-officer cap, and (c) provide PDF filings (Articles, Annual Reports, amendments, Certificate of Status) that are not distributed in bulk.
- **[GLEIF (Legal Entity Identifiers)](https://www.gleif.org/en/lei-data/gleif-golden-copy/download-the-golden-copy)** (secondary): Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation – Legal Entity Identifier reference data
