FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS WANTS YOU TO KNOW... Business Identity Theft is a broad term that encompasses a wide variety of crimes involving the unauthorized use of a business identity. Small and midsize companies are tempting targets for criminals. 60% of small businesses close within a year of being victims. In an effort to be more business friendly and to heighten security, the Department of State has instituted an e-mail notification process whereby business entities are sent e-mail notices when any changes are made to their records. This e-mail notice will be sent to the previous e-mail address of record. If the change was not authorized by a principal of the business entity, you will be able to notify the Department utilizing a link provided in the e-mail.
