Florida DBA Cost: What Does a DBA Cost in Florida?

The cost of a Florida DBA has two important components: the state fictitious-name registration fee and the newspaper publication requirement. FLDBA.com combines the filing and publication costs into a $249 service price.

Florida state filing fee

The Florida Department of State currently lists the registration of a fictitious name at $50. Certified copies and certificates of status are separate optional state services.

Newspaper publication

Florida requires the fictitious name to be advertised at least once in a newspaper located in the county of the principal place of business. Publication pricing can vary by newspaper and county.

Our $249 service

FLDBA.com charges $249 total for the service described on this website. The price includes the Florida registration fee and the newspaper publication fee, along with filing preparation, submission, coordination and documentation.

Why the price can differ from DIY

A person filing directly with the state may pay the state fee and arrange publication independently. Our service price includes administrative assistance and publication coordination.
