Florida industry export
The export covers professional and business service firms registered in Florida, defined by NAICS 2022 (54, 56). For scale: 961,462 businesses in Florida per the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: 137,237 with employees in 2023 and 824,225 without employees in 2024; that is official statistics. Our Florida database is active, but per-industry record counts are still being compiled. Name the profession, such as law firms, accounting firms or staffing agencies, and the counties; we will reply with what we can deliver.

Data as of October 15, 2026. Industry size: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: businesses with paid employees (CBP 2023, establishments, NAICS 2017 codes 54, 56) plus businesses without paid employees (NES 2024, NAICS 2022 codes 54, 56); not our dataset. Statewide figure for all industries: Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, Yearly Statistics, as of July 8, 2026; not our dataset. NAICS titles: 54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services; 56 Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services (U.S. Census Bureau).
The industry combines two NAICS sectors: 54, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (law firms, accounting and bookkeeping, management and marketing consultants, advertising agencies), and 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services (staffing, office administration, security, cleaning and landscaping services).
Sector 54 also contains architecture and engineering (NAICS 5413) and computer systems design (NAICS 5415). On this website, these are separate industries, so we plan to leave them out here: see Architecture and Engineering and IT and Software. The waste management part of sector 56 (NAICS 562) belongs to Utilities and Waste Services.
Professional practices are often organized as a professional association (P.A.) or professional limited liability company (P.L.L.C.); the entity type column of the planned export shows the entity type as registered. Consulting firms and agencies that need no professional license have no license record, so for them the corporate record is the only state source we plan to use.
Our expectation, which is an assumption and not a finding from data: We expect website and general email address to be the most common contact fields for professional firms. Direct lines of partners are not planned to be collected. Per-industry contact counts are still being compiled; once measured, they will replace this note.
We are looking for accounting and bookkeeping firms in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties with a website and a general email address, to offer them our practice management software. Sole practitioners without a registered entity can be left out. Please state what you can deliver, the price and the as-of date of the data.
This is an example only, not a promise of a record count.
Official statistics
Counting businesses with and without employees, sectors 54 and 56 are each among the largest NAICS sectors in Florida, and most of their businesses have no employees. Note that the Census totals for sectors 54 and 56 include architecture, engineering, computer services and waste management, which this website lists as separate industries.
Miami-Dade (215,080), Broward (115,845), Palm Beach (81,742), Orange (62,867), Hillsborough (60,893). Figures for all 67 counties are in the table Florida businesses by county.
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023; U.S. Census Bureau, Nonemployer Statistics 2024 (methodology). Each row adds establishments with paid employees (County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 2017) and businesses without paid employees (Nonemployer Statistics 2024, NAICS 2022, which leaves out businesses with less than $1,000 in receipts except in construction). These are Census Bureau statistics, not counts from our dataset.
Certified public accountants and CPA firms are licensed through the DBPR; the Board of Accountancy is established by Fla. Stat. § 473.303.
Under the Florida Constitution, the Supreme Court has “exclusive jurisdiction to regulate the admission of persons to the practice of law and the discipline of persons admitted” (Art. V § 15); attorneys are therefore not licensed by a state licensing department. A law firm, as a business, appears in the corporate registry if it is organized as a registered entity.
An employee leasing company may not do business in Florida without a license from the DBPR (Fla. Stat. § 468.526). Whether a given staffing arrangement counts as employee leasing depends on the definitions in that part of Chapter 468.
Private security and investigative agencies are licensed under Chapter 493, where the responsible department is the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Fla. Stat. § 493.6101). The same department licenses pest control businesses (Fla. Stat. § 482.071), which NAICS counts among services to buildings.

FAQ
That is the plan: by six-digit NAICS code, for example 541110 Offices of Lawyers or 541211 Offices of Certified Public Accountants. The state corporate registry carries no industry code, so the code has to be derived from other sources and will not be available for every record.
The export is planned as a list of businesses, not of individual license holders. Named individuals appear only where they are part of a public business record, for example as an officer of a corporation.
Yes. NAICS 5418 covers advertising agencies, public relations agencies, media buying, direct mail advertising and related services. Web development firms, by contrast, are classified with computer services.
Sometimes by the entity name: a Florida practice may be registered as a “P.A.” (professional association) or a “P.L.L.C.” The name is only a hint, though; the corporate data file has no field for the profession.
The size of the industry in Florida is 961,462 businesses in Florida per the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: 137,237 with employees in 2023 and 824,225 without employees in 2024 (source); that is the official market scale, not a count of our delivered records. Our per-industry record count is still being compiled; contact us for the current count for Professional and Business Services. For orientation: Active business entities registered with the Florida Division of Corporations (corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and trusts) – 4,129,182 as of July 8, 2026 (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, Yearly Statistics). That figure covers all industries and counts registered entities whether or not they operate. The Census figures on this page give a sense of scale for Professional and Business Services.
Federal law does not require prior consent for commercial email to businesses, but every message must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act (FTC compliance guide); sales calls and texts are restricted more tightly by federal rules and by Fla. Stat. § 501.059. An export contains no consent. 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. The compliance of a campaign is your responsibility. The rules are explained in Cold outreach rules in Florida; this is not legal advice.
From public sources: corporate filings of the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), the license and registration records named on this page and the companies' own websites (sources and methodology). The file is a UTF-8 CSV or, on request, XLSX or JSON; a sample with fictitious businesses shows the 15 columns.
