Starting a Florida Non-Profit Corporation requires dedication and patience. It requires strong organizational skills and responsibility to meet the non-profit's obligations. Many people do not understand that a Non-Profit Corporation is operated exactly like a Corporation. The only difference is that there are no stockholders. People can start a Non-Profit for a community, charity, foundation, trade groups, religious organization, and many other different types of purposes. You will need a minimum of three (3) people to be on the board of directors to obtain tax-exempt status.

The annual report is filed between January 1 to May 1, 2017. If you do not file an Annual Report your non-profit could be dissolved. We provide a guide with very simple directions to file your Annual Report. If you need further help, we will offer you phone support to assist you with filing your annual report.

We understand that when starting a Non-Profit, you need to hold on to much of your money as you can. So we only provide you with the documents and services necessary to get your Company going. Our process keeps it simple while ensuring you are compliant with Federal, State, and Local regulations.

What an awesome attorney!! He called us and answered all our questions and brought quite a few things up that we would never have thought of. I can assure you we will be using FL Patel Law Firm for all of our business legal needs!

Manager
"I used Kal instead of Legal Zoom for a LLC formation. I will never use Legal Zoom again. Thorough, personal service, Kal answers all your questions and, most importantly, asks you questions that you probably did not think about. It is important to get it right from the beginning."
Anthony O.
"Mr. Patel went above and beyond his duties when it came to helping me resolve a dispute I had with a business partner. He made me a buyout contract with my business partner when we could no longer agree to work together. Mr Patel was very professional and explained the buyout process in very clear detail to both my business partner and I. I would definitely recommend using Mr. Patel for any business related legal matters as he was very prompt and helpful in a difficult situation."
