About Sunbiz Daily

What is Sunbiz Daily?

Sunbiz Daily is a web application that makes Florida business registration data accessible and easy to explore. Every day, new businesses register with the Florida Division of Corporations, and this data is made available through their public FTP server.

We transform this raw data into an interactive experience, allowing you to explore new business filings on a map, discover trends in business naming, and understand where entrepreneurial activity is happening across Florida. Our AI-powered search lets you find businesses using natural language queries like "restaurants in Miami" or "plumbers near 33101".

Our Purpose

Sunbiz Daily exists to promote public transparency and make government data more accessible. While the Florida Division of Corporations provides this data publicly, navigating raw data files can be challenging. We believe everyone should be able to easily explore and understand business activity in their community.

Whether you're a resident curious about local business growth, a researcher tracking economic trends, a journalist covering development, or an entrepreneur scoping the competitive landscape, Sunbiz Daily gives you fast, filtered access to the data you need.

How It Works

Each day, the Florida Division of Corporations publishes new business filing records to their public FTP server. Our automated pipeline downloads these files, parses the business information, and geocodes addresses to place them on the map.

The data includes corporation names, filing dates, registered agent information, and principal addresses. We use AI to automatically classify businesses by industry type (such as "Restaurant" or "Plumber") and to parse natural language search queries. We also extract keywords for trend analysis and calculate geographic coordinates for mapping.

Data Source: All business data comes from the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) public FTP server. This is official government data made available for public use.
