Florida law at a glance
- Many professions and businesses are licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
- Cities and counties require a local business tax receipt for most businesses (Chapter 205, Florida Statutes).
- A business operating under a name other than its legal name generally must register the fictitious name with the state (section 865.09).
