Hello Lorianne,

I would suggest contacting your local Florida Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) for details on setting up a non-profit
business. The SBDCs are not-for-profit centers run by the U.S. Small
Business Administration and Florida colleges and universities. You can
find them at most state universities. They offer free or inexpensive
workshops and one-on-one counseling. Here is a list:

And here is a map with links to the local SBDCs. Click on the one
nearest you to find what types of workshops/services they offer.

For general information on starting any type of business, check out
the information on FloridaSmallBusiness.com.

In particular, look at the pages on legal structure and forms, permits
and licenses.
