Export
An export of the Florida Business Database is compiled by industry and county. The file has 15 columns, from business name, entity type and document number to address, county, NAICS code, phone number, email address and website. Not every record contains every field.
File layout
Each row is one business, each column one piece of information. The layout is the same for all industries, so you can merge several exports or load them into the same CRM template.
| Column in the CSV | Name | Content |
|---|---|---|
business_name | Business name | Legal name of the entity as registered with the Florida Division of Corporations, including the suffix (LLC, Inc., Corp.). |
entity_type | Entity type | For example Florida profit corporation, Florida limited liability company, foreign corporation, limited partnership or nonprofit corporation. |
document_number | Document number | Identifier assigned by the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz); the key for matching a record against the state registry. |
status | Status | Active or inactive, as shown in the state registry on the as-of date of the export. |
date_filed | Date filed | Date the entity was filed or registered in Florida (YYYY-MM-DD). |
street_address | Street address | Principal address according to the source. |
city | City | City of the principal address. |
state | State | Two-letter state code; entities registered in Florida may have a principal address in another state. |
zip_code | ZIP code | Five-digit ZIP code stored as text, so that leading zeros of out-of-state addresses are kept. |
county | County | One of the 67 Florida counties, derived from the principal address; the main filter for regional selection. |
industry | Industry | Assignment to one of the 15 industries of flcontacts.com. |
naics_code | NAICS code | NAICS 2022 code, where it can be derived from a source; the state corporate registry itself does not carry an industry code. |
phone | Phone | Publicly listed business phone number in the format (305) 555-0100. |
email | Publicly listed general business address, typically from the company website. | |
website | Website | Address of the company website including the protocol. |
An empty field means the information was not available in the sources – we never fill it in by estimate.

The following rows are sample data. The businesses in the table and in the sample file are invented so that you can see the layout. The document number X00000000000 is deliberately invalid, the phone numbers use the 555-01xx range reserved for fiction, and the email addresses end in the reserved domain .example. This is neither an extract of real records nor a list of contacts.

Technical details
The default format is CSV in UTF-8 with a byte order mark, a comma as the delimiter and CRLF line endings. Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc read this combination without character errors when you use their CSV import.

The file is delivered by email as a download link. Other delivery methods or regular deliveries are agreed individually.
Price
The price depends on the industry, the counties and the filters; we quote it in USD before you order.
After delivery
A few steps keep the file intact when you open it and combine it with your own records.
document_number and zip_code to Text, so that no identifier or leading zero is changed.The status of the Florida dataset is on the page Data status.
FAQ
Do not open the file by double-clicking it; Excel may then convert ZIP codes and document numbers to numbers and drop leading zeros.
In an empty workbook choose Data › From Text/CSV, set the file origin to Unicode (UTF-8) and the delimiter to comma. Set the columns ZIP code, document number and NAICS code to text and confirm with Load. Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc offer the same options in their import dialogs.
CSV files are delivered in UTF-8 with a byte order mark, a comma as the delimiter, fields quoted where needed and CRLF line endings. If your application expects a tab or a semicolon, we will prepare the file accordingly.
The published as-of date is October 15, 2026. The date an export was created is not the date each individual contact was checked.
We do not promise a fixed update interval for all sources. Details are on the page Data sources and methodology.
Yes. By default the file has all 15 columns; on request you receive a file with only the fields you need for your CRM import. Records without a phone number or without a website can be excluded in the same way.
Email: U.S. federal law does not require prior consent for commercial email, but every message must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which according to the FTC “makes no exception for business-to-business email.” The requirements include accurate header information, a subject line that is not deceptive, identification of the message as an ad, a valid physical postal address and an opt-out that you honor within 10 business days (FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business).
Phone and text: calls and text messages are regulated more strictly. The federal rules under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 CFR § 64.1200) and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.059) restrict autodialed and prerecorded sales calls and texts made without prior express written consent, and both the National Do Not Call Registry and the Florida Do Not Call list must be honored where they apply.
An export contains no consent of any kind. Our data is not screened against any do-not-call list, including the National Do Not Call Registry and the Florida Do Not Call list. How Fla. Stat. § 501.059(4) applies to business records that include phone numbers is a question for an attorney, and no Florida dataset with phone numbers will be released until that question is resolved. You are responsible for the compliance of your own campaign; we do not provide legal advice.
That depends on the industry, the counties and the filters. Mind the limit of 1,048,576 rows per Excel worksheet: very large selections can be split by county or delivered as JSON.
We state the scope after filters, the price and the as-of date of the data before you order.
