Trying to save you $400

 

This is a warning, not a sales gimmick, and it affects all Florida companies.

May 1^st is the deadline for all for-profit corporations in Florida to file their annual corporate report with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations – also known as SunBiz.

Companies must pay a $150 fee when they file their annual report by the May 1^st deadline. If you miss the deadline you have to pay a $400 late fee.

You have until Sept. 3 to file your annual report and late fee. If you miss that deadline, your corporation will be dissolved by the state. Many large companies and most government entities will only do business with companies that are incorporated. Banks only open accounts with businesses that are incorporated.

Don’t worry, the annual report is not a financial statement. It’s used to confirm that your business (corporation) is still functioning. The report is used to confirm and update your corporation’s officers, registered office and mailing address.

For more information on filing your annual corporate report, visit www.sunbiz.org.

Save yourself $400, don’t miss that May 1^st deadline.

3 cheers for Obamacare!

Gotta give President Obama a shout out on the Affordable Health Care Act!

Despite all the criticism 7 million people have signed up – including my wife and I!

Obamacare is pro-American and pro-business! Our economy can’t afford tens of millions of uninsured Americans. Obamacare helps solve that.

Nothing can be more devastating to a family, or a business, than medical bills from a major illness, or injuries resulting an accident. Treatment for cancer can quickly exceed $50,000. I have one prescription medication that costs $700 a month without Obamacare.

And Obamacare isn’t a giveaway – far from it. Everyone pays based on what they can afford. And a major component of Obamacare is that it stresses regular doctor visits and preventative medicine. Can anyone say: Personal responsibility?

Sure Obamacare has some glitches. Big deal. Check out the Wright Brothers first airplane compared to a modern airliner. It takes time to work out the problems.

As for the Obamacare haters: Quit your whining.
