Now Live: Florida LLC Filing Data Across All 67 Counties
Florida is live. As of July 2025, Northpoint Leads delivers daily LLC filing data across all 67 Florida counties, enriched with verified owner phone numbers and email addresses, under the same exclusivity model our subscribers in Texas, Georgia, and Ohio have been using for the past two years.
This has been in the works for a while. We had a waitlist of service providers in the Miami, Tampa, and Orlando markets before we started building the pipeline. Florida was the logical next state, and the data confirms why.
Why Florida Was the Right Next State
Florida ranks second nationally for new LLC formations. The state processes roughly 150,000 new LLC filings per year through the Florida Division of Corporations, known as SunBiz. That's approximately 2,900 new businesses per week, every week, without the seasonal dip that states like Minnesota or Michigan see in the winter quarter. Florida's filing volume is year-round and growing. In 2023, formations were up 11 percent over 2022. In 2024, they rose another 8 percent.
The infrastructure also made Florida attractive to build on. SunBiz publishes daily filing updates in a structured format that allows for reliable, consistent parsing. Unlike some state systems where data quality degrades on weekends or around state holidays, SunBiz has been dependable throughout our testing period. We ran a four-month parallel validation before going live to confirm match rates and catch edge cases in the address and registered agent data.
And demand from service providers in the state was real. Insurance agents in South Florida, bookkeepers in the Tampa Bay area, and merchant services reps working Orlando had been asking about Florida coverage since early 2024. We wanted to be confident in the data quality before turning subscriptions on. We are now confident.
Coverage and First-Month Data
All 67 Florida counties are live. That includes the high-volume metros most subscribers will target first: Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach in South Florida; Hillsborough and Pinellas in the Tampa Bay region; Orange and Osceola covering the Orlando market; Duval in Jacksonville; and Lee and Collier in the Fort Myers and Naples corridor.
Our first full month of live data produced 580 to 640 filings per week in the enriched, deliverable feed after filtering out registered agent filings and clearly dormant holding structures. The raw filing volume is higher; these numbers reflect what reaches subscribers with a usable contact record attached.
Phone match rate came in at 91 percent, which is consistent with what we see in Texas and slightly above what we saw in Georgia when that state launched. Email deliverability in the first-month sample was 88 percent, measured against hard bounce rates on the initial outreach campaigns run by our early-access Florida subscribers. Both numbers will be updated quarterly as we accumulate more data.
What's Filing in Florida
The industry breakdown in Florida's LLC filings reflects the state's economic character. A few categories stand out.
Construction is the dominant category by volume. Florida has been in a near-continuous building cycle since 2020, driven by population growth from domestic migration and persistent demand in the residential and light commercial sectors. New general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades file LLCs at a high rate. Lee County alone, which is still recovering and rebuilding post-Ian, is generating a disproportionate volume of construction-related filings relative to its population. For insurance agents and equipment financing reps, this is a high-value segment with strong urgency to close.
Real estate investment is the second major category. Florida's investor market covers everything from fix-and-flip operations in Hillsborough County to short-term rental investors in Osceola County targeting the Disney corridor. These LLCs typically need property insurance, liability coverage, and in many cases commercial banking relationships. The real estate investor filing is a familiar profile for the service providers who've been working Texas data; Florida looks similar but with higher concentration in the coastal and tourism-adjacent counties.
E-commerce and logistics represent a growing share of Florida filings, particularly in the Miami-Dade and Broward corridor where proximity to Port Everglades and Miami International Airport creates a natural hub for import businesses and fulfillment operations. These owners are less likely to need traditional trades insurance, but are strong candidates for bookkeeping services, business banking, and shipping and freight partnerships.
Hospitality is the fourth major segment. Restaurants, food trucks, catering companies, event venues, and short-term rentals make up a consistent portion of Florida's weekly filings. The hospitality sector in Florida has a high failure rate in the first two years, but the owners who file an LLC are signaling intent. They are serious enough to pay an attorney or a registered agent service and commit to a formal structure. That separates them from the broader pool of informal operators.
Same Model, New Market
The Florida rollout uses the same exclusivity structure as every other state we cover. Subscribers claim a specific county or group of counties. No other subscriber in the same vertical receives the same data. The daily feed arrives by 9 a.m. local time for filings processed the prior business day.
There are no long-term contracts. Subscriptions are month-to-month, and cancellations free up the territory. At launch, Miami-Dade, Broward, Orange, and Hillsborough are the counties with the most active interest from the waitlist. If you've been waiting for Florida, those counties may move quickly.
For subscribers who are already working Texas, Georgia, or another covered state, adding a Florida county works the same way operationally. The data format is identical. The daily delivery is the same. There is no additional setup required.
What to Expect in the First 30 Days
Subscribers who have launched in new territories consistently report the same pattern. The first two weeks involve calibrating the outreach cadence and getting a feel for which industries convert fastest in that specific market. By week three, most subscribers have identified their highest-value industry segments and started filtering their daily feed accordingly. By day 30, the economics are clear enough to make a confident decision about whether to expand to adjacent counties.
Florida-specific dynamics to be aware of: the state has a higher proportion of Spanish-speaking LLC owners than any other state we cover, particularly in Miami-Dade and Osceola counties. Subscribers serving those markets who have Spanish-language outreach capability will have a meaningful edge. We flag primary language indicators where that data is available in the enrichment layer.
Also worth noting: Florida's construction-related LLCs often move faster toward insurance purchase than the national average, because Florida's contractor licensing requirements and lien law create hard legal deadlines that move owners to action. An insurance agent calling a new Broward County general contractor on day two of their filing is often calling someone who needs a certificate of insurance to pull a permit within the week. The close rate in that segment, based on our first-month subscriber feedback, has been running above 30 percent.
Getting Started
If you are a service provider working in Florida or looking to expand into the state, the process is the same as any other state we cover. Email us, tell us your county targets and your vertical, and we will confirm availability and send a sample from the current week's filings. If the territory is open and the sample confirms what you need, we get you on the daily feed starting the next business day.
Florida is a large, complex market. The filing volume is real, the contact data quality is solid, and the service provider demand in the state is as strong as anywhere we operate. We're glad to have it live.
