Florida Corporate Officer Rules

Florida statutes require a Florida corporation to have at least one corporate officer. However, there are normally three (3) principal officers in a corporation; a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer.

Florida Law permits one person to hold more than one office. Therefore, one person may be designated to all three offices.

The documents contained in our Corporate Kit E-Book appoint all three of the above officers. You may appoint yourself to each of these offices, or each of these offices may be held by different persons.

If you would like to view the Florida Statutes concerning corporate officers, they are located in Sections 607.08401, 607.0841, 607.0842, 607.0843, 607.0850 and thereafter in the Florida Statutes.

It is important that you formally appoint the officers in your corporation in inital corporate actions and proceedings. It is also important that the activities of the officers be reviewed by the Directors of your corporation on a regular basis and that the directors re-elect the officers on an annual basis.

Our Corporate Kit E-Book and our Small Business E-Book give you resources for electing officers and re-electing officers on an annual basis.
