BBB Warns of Misleading “Annual Minutes Requirement” Mailings


Pensacola, Fla. (March 4, 2015Your BBB has received reports that misleading mailings from Compliance Services are showing up in mailboxes of businesses across northwest Florida. A local business in northwest Florida provided BBB with a sample of the mailing.
For a $125 fee, Compliance Services claims they will prepare documents “to satisfy the annual minutes requirement for your corporation”.  There is no requirement that you submit the information they’ve requested or any annual minutes to the State of Florida.  Furthermore, Compliance Services is not associated with the State of Florida or the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations.
Do not confuse these notices with the messages sent by the Division of Corporations reminding each business entity to file its Annual Report by May 1, 2015. Reports can be filed electronically the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations at sunbiz.org.
Any business owner who believes he has been a victim of this scam should call the Florida Attorney General’s Fraud Hotline at 866.9.NO.SCAM.
For additional information and advice you can trust as a business owner, start with bbb.org.
