MESSAGE FROM CFO SINK

As the Chief Financial Officer of Florida, I would like to encourage all Floridians to be smart investors. Planning for the future by putting money away today is a wise and rewarding habit.

Where you put your money matters. Be sure to invest with reputable, licensed companies and individuals so you can be assured that your assets are there when you need them.

Verify before you buy. In other words, make sure that the company, broker or agent is licensed to do business in Florida.  Before you sign a contract or write a check, click on these links to verify through our records that the entity is authorized and licensed to transact business in Florida or with Florida residents..

Call our consumer helpline at 1-800-342-2762 for more information and assistance.

Protecting your nest egg now will protect your financial future.


Alex Sink
Chief Financial Officer of Florida
