Florida DBAs searchable by their owners

A fictitious name, or DBA, is the name a business trades under when it is not its legal name. Florida requires it to be registered with the Division of Corporations, and each registration names its owners: people, companies or both. The search covers the fictitious names filed since October 2008, in force or not. Each result carries the registration number, the trade name, its status, the county, the business address, the filing and expiration dates and up to ten owners, with the owner's own Sunbiz document number when the owner is a registered entity. A search reaches the owners' names too, so you can find every trade name a person or company operates under. A person's tax number is never shown. Data is brought up to date every day from the Division's own publications.

  • Match by trade name or owner

    Words in the fictitious name or in an owner's name; every word must match.

  • Filter by status and county

    Active or inactive, by county, by the owning entity's document number, a company owner's FEI or filing date.

  • Open the full history

    Every match carries its registration number, so one more lookup returns its renewals, changes and cancellation.

Common questions

From the Florida Division of Corporations, the state registry known as Sunbiz, which publishes its fictitious name filings for anyone to use. Croma keeps an organized copy, brings it up to date every day, and returns it structured, free and with no account. There is only a cap on searches per hour from the same connection.

Yes. Type the owner's name and the search returns every fictitious name that lists them. For a company registered in Florida, its document number is more precise: filter by owner document number to see only the trade names that entity owns. Names are stored in capitals and without accents.

Active means the Division still lists the registration as in force. Inactive means it no longer does, usually because it expired without renewal: a Florida registration lasts until December 31 of its fifth year. Cancelled means the owner filed a cancellation.

The search covers fictitious names filed since October 2008. The lookup by number adds each registration's events since 1991. Every response says how current its data is, and a filing reaches the copy with the next daily update.
