SCAM ALERT: I recently incorporated a business for a client. Within days of the corporation being registered with the Secretary of State, I received an official-looking notice that the business must "have proper registrations licenses and permits in city before legally operating for business" (their words; not mine). See the sample, below. While it is true that most cities and counties require all businesses operating within their confines to obtain a license (really a tax), you do not need to pay whoever these people are to do that. Check with your local city and/or county tax collector's office to find out what is required. My suspicion was confirmed when I searched for the business on the Division of Corporations website and found no active corporation, LLC, partnership, or fictitious name registration under the F. Compliance Department name. My suggestion is to ignore this notice.

This Information Comes from Commissioner Adam Putnam, the Head of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services:

Friend,
January is always a popular time to join a gym. But before joining a new gym, I encourage Floridians to do their homework to ensure they get the most out of their memberships.
Here are a few things to consider if you've resolved to join a gym:
• Make sure the gym is registered with the department and check if it has any complaints filed against it by visiting FreshFromFlorida.com.
• Don’t join the first time you visit. Use the gym first and make sure it meets your needs, then take the contract home and read it thoroughly before signing.
• It’s a good rule of thumb to avoid long contracts. Shop around to make sure you know what’s included in the membership.
• Use a credit card, debit card or check to pay each month. Setting up an automatic withdrawal from checking accounts may result in problems if there is ever a dispute.
• The contract should include a provision for penalty-free cancellation in writing within three days, exclusive of holidays and weekends, of signing a contract.
For more information, visit FreshFromFlorida.com or call 1-800-HELP-FLA.
Sincerely,
Adam

It is that time of the year. If you have a Florida corporation or a limited liability company, it is time to renew. It is also the time to review your company documents. If you need help with making sure your company documents are in order, you should contact your attorney. If you do not have a company attorney, I am able to assist you.

This is protects individual privacy, and is worth knowing. There are penalties for anyone who violates this law.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (July 1, 2015) – Floridians woke up this morning with more robust privacy protections thanks to a statute limiting drone surveillance that went into effect at midnight. The new law actually takes a second step against mass surveillance, expanding current limitations on the use of d…

Article V gives We the People a way to bring this Nation back to a Constitutional Republic. Please join me in signing the petition.

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and business is a recipe for disaster.

SCAM ALERT: I recently added a person to the title of property I own, and in less than 2 weeks, I received a Recorded Deed Notice from a firm called Record Transfer Services seeking to provide me with a copy of my Current Grant Deed, for a processing fee of $83.00 (see the photos, below). THIS IS BOGUS! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! DO NOT SEND THIS FIRM ANY MONEY! First, in Hillsborough County, Florida, the original of the deed is returned by the clerk after it is scanned and recorded. Second, it only costs a few bucks to obtain a certified copy of the deed from the clerk's office. Third, you can obtain a non-certified copy of your deed from the clerk's web site.
