Florida Mail Forwarding

Q: What is the difference between a Florida registered agent address and a Florida mailing address?

Your businessu2019s registered agent address is simply the street address of your Florida registered agent. This is where your businessu2019s registered agent receives service of process (legal notices) and other official state mail on your businessu2019s behalf, and it must be a street address in Florida and not a PO box. Your Florida mailing address, by contrast, is the address where you receive your business mail. The two addresses are usually different because most Florida registered agent services donu2019t provide the types of mail forwarding services we provide. But, when you sign up for our Deluxe or Premium mail forwarding services, you can receive your registered agent mail and your business mail at our Florida business address.

Q: What if I need a virtual phone number for my business as well?

Youu2019re in luck: our Florida mail forwarding packages all include a free 90-day trial of our Florida Phone Service. This is a state-of-the-art virtual phone line (with a Florida area code) that you can use to protect your privacy and give your customers a reliable way to reach you. When the trial period is up, your Florida Phone Service is just $9 a month to maintainu2014providing a better value than any traditional cell phone plan or landline. You can also get a secondary business line by signing up for our Florida Virtual Office package. What is a Florida Virtual Office? Our Florida Virtual Office service includes a Florida mailing address, unlimited mail scans, Florida Phone Service and a real office lease.

Q: Can I use your Florida mail forwarding services if I donu2019t live in Florida?

Yes. The use of our mail forwarding services simply establishes a mailing address for your business in Florida, so itu2019s available regardless of where you are (and even if your business has a physical location in a different state). But make sure youu2019re doing so for the right reasons. If youu2019re looking for a convenient, competitively-priced way to manage your mail through a Florida mailing address, youu2019ve come to the right place. But you canu2019t use our Florida mail forwarding address to establish Florida residency or to give the false impression that your business is operating somewhere other than where itu2019s actually operating.

Florida Mail Scanning FAQs

Getting Started with Florida Mail Scanning

1. Evaluate Your Needs

Before you select one of our Florida mail scanning packages, take a look at where your business is and ask yourself where you want your business to be in the near future. What level of growth do you anticipate? Do you intend to expand your operations? You’ll want to pick the package that best represents your company’s future.

2. Select Your Package

We offer three types of packages (all described in detail in the section below). Our free option is automatically available with our Florida registered agent, Florida LLC, and Florida incorporation services, but it only provides limited mail coverage for your business. Our Deluxe and Premium options cost $49 and $99 per year, respectively, but they provide the most robust mail coverage you’ll find in any Florida mail scanning service out there.

3. Sign Up & Get Started

When you’re ready to proceed, sign up and pay for the package that’s right for you. After placing your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email that contains all of the information you’ll need to get started, including your unique Florida address (if you sign up for our Deluxe or Premium packages). Once you receive this email, you’re good to go.

4. Reap the Benefits

Our service starts almost immediately. Once you’re signed up, you can rest assured that we’re taking care of any mail we receive on your behalf and that your client account is secured and protected. Our support staff is here to answer your questions, and we’re always evaluating our methods and training our team to better serve your mail scanning needs.

Florida Mail Scanning Packages

Different businesses can have very different mail coverage needs. Simply select the best Florida mail scanning package for your business from the list below:

Florida Business Address + Free Mail Scanning with Registered Agent Service ($49/ year)

This is our free mail scanning option, and it’s automatically available with our Florida registered agent service. The package includes the use of our Florida business address as the address of your “principal office” and up to 3 mail scans of non-state mail per year. When mail comes to our location for your business, we’ll upload scanned copies to your client account.

Note that by “non-state mail” we mean any mail we receive that isn’t relevant to the registered agent services we provide for your business, so service of process and official state mail don’t count toward this 3 scan limit.

This is the ideal package for businesses that aren’t using our Florida business address as their primary mailing address. But if you want to receive the bulk of your business mail at our location, you’ll want to select one of the paid mail scanning options described below.

Sign Up For Registered Agent Service

Florida Business Address + Deluxe Mail Scanning ($49/ year)

This $49 a year Deluxe package includes up to 10 non-state mail scans per year and a unique suite number for your business. It’s typically the right choice for less-established businesses that aren’t yet receiving so much mail that they they need the increased mail scans provided by our Premium mail scanning package (see the next section for more).

Our Deluxe option includes a unique Florida address, and you can use this address for all of your business’s most essential needs (such as on your website and stationary). This is possible because, as we mentioned above, we own the building that serves as the office suite for our mail clients and from which we operate our Florida mail center.

Order Deluxe Mail Scanning

Florida Business Address + Premium Mail Scanning ($99/ year)

This $99 a year Premium package takes your mail coverage to the next level, and it’s ideally-suited for better-established businesses that will receive a lot of mail at our location. Our Premium package includes a unique Florida address, like the Deluxe package described above, but it extends to include 25 mail scans as well.

As with all of our mail scanning packages, our Premium package also includes access to our support staff and same-day scanning of digital copies to your client account, but it also includes shredding your business’s junk mail alongside these other features.

Why Choose Our Florida Mail Scanning Service?

One key to success is being able to take important lessons from the past into the future and, at the same time, foster a vision of growth that allows your business to scale according to your developing needs. Mail scanning is not always the first thing budding entrepreneurs consider when they start doing business, but adding a mail scanning service to your business plan can be a game-changer in the end.

Our clients sign up for our Florida mail scanning services for all sorts of reasons, but, based on their feedback and observations, the main reasons can be boiled down to the following:

You don't have a business mailing address

Maybe you operate a mobile online businesses and hardly work out of the same place on two consecutive days. Without using a mail scanning service, your main options come down to using your home address (never a good idea!), the address of some willing person you know, or a PO box for your business’s mail. None of these options are ideal, especially in a state like Florida that will list your business’s mailing address on your public filings.

But, when you hire Sunshine Corporate Filings, you can use our Florida business address as your registered agent address, principal office address, and mailing address when you sign up for one of our Florida mail scanning services. That way, you can keep your home address off of the public record and avoid using a less-than-prestigious-looking PO box to receive your business mail.

You don't like your business mailing address

A lot of newer businesses operate temporarily out of locations they don’t really want associated with their business for the long term (maybe it’s a crappy office suite in an even crappier building in the crappiest part of town—who knows).

Whatever the case may be, you can bypass this problem by using our Florida business address and signing up for one of our Florida mail scanning service options. When you sign up for our Deluxe or Premium packages, you’ll get a unique suite number assigned to your business and the added benefit of a mailing address at our prestigious location.

You want a stable business mailing address

One of the chief benefits of using our Florida business address and mail scanning services is that you’ll get a stable mailing address out of the bargain. You won’t have to change your mailing address every time your business moves, and you and won’t risk missing important mail in the process.

And, since at Sunshine Corporate Filings we own the building that houses our Florida mail center, you can be certain that we’ll be there to sort, scan, and forward your business mail for the long haul.

You don't want to disclose your business mailing address

This is a big one for a lot of Florida businesses. Because of Florida’s emphasis on easily accessible, open government records, any files you form with the Florida Department of State will end up available through a business entity search at Florida’s Sunbiz website—freely accessible to the public’s prying eyes. That’s less of a big deal for businesses with fixed commercial locations that want to be found, but if your only option is to list your home address on your public filings—well, you get the point.

This problem disappears entirely when you use our Florida business address and sign up for our mail scanning services. In that case, anyone digging into your business’s information online will see our Florida mailing address when they look for yours.

You want to avoid excessive junk mail and solicitors

Everyone is a target for junk mail, but when you start a business it’s like the world paints a giant junk-mail target on your back (visible, as it were, from the surface of the moon). And salespeople who find your business’s address online will use that information to target you for in-person solicitations as well.

Once again, using our Florida business address and mail scanning services dissolves the problem. Instead of clogging up your mailbox or PO box with a bunch of wasted paper your business didn’t ask for and doesn’t need, all that junk will arrive at our Florida mail center instead. And we’ll even shred your junk mail for you as part of our Premium Florida mail scanning package.

What about salespeople? Hey, we’re in mail scanning business, and we’re used to turning those folks away (respectfully, of course, but firmly), and we have a whole staff on hand to spread the burden around. We don’t mind the aggravation, so you can simply leave those endless headaches to us.

Florida Mail Scanning FAQs

What is the difference between a Florida registered agent address and a Florida mailing address?

Your business’s registered agent address is simply the street address of your Florida registered agent. This is where your business’s registered agent receives service of process (legal notices) and other official state mail on your business’s behalf, and it must be a street address in Florida and not a PO box.

Your Florida mailing address, by contrast, is the address where you receive your business mail. The two addresses are usually different because most Florida registered agent services don’t provide the types of mail scanning services we provide. But, when you sign up for our Deluxe or Premium mail scanning services, you can receive your registered agent mail and your business mail at our Florida business address.

What if I need a virtual phone number for my business as well?

You can get a secondary business line by signing up for Florida Virtual Office. For only $19 / month, our Virtual Office package includes all the same benefits of our Mail Scanning package, but you also get unlimited digital mail scanning, local phone service, an office lease, and the option to rent one of our conference rooms!

Is the free Florida mail scanning option available with your other business services?

Yes. Our free mail scanning option is part of any package that involves our Florida registered agent service, which means it’s available when you hire Sunshine Corporate Filings to start your Florida LLC or help your business incorporate in Florida.

What do you mean by a “unique suite number”?

This is simply a number that distinguishes your business from other businesses that receive their mail at our location. When it comes to mail delivery, it’s essentially the same as having a physical office location in an office building that serves multiple businesses at the same time.

Our Deluxe and Premium mail scanning packages both include a unique suite number (and hence a unique Florida address) among their other features. You’ll also get a unique suite number for your business if you sign up for our Florida Virtual Office.

Can I use your Florida mail scanning services if I don’t live in Florida?

Yes. The use of our mail scanning services simply establishes a mailing address for your business in Florida, so it’s available regardless of where you are (and even if your business has a physical location in a different state).

But make sure you’re doing so for the right reasons. If you’re looking for a convenient, competitively-priced way to manage your mail through a Florida mailing address, you’ve come to the right place. But you can’t use our Florida mail scanning address to establish Florida residency or to give the false impression that your business is operating somewhere other than where it’s actually operating.
