Agenda 04/27/2021 Item #16F 4 (Clarification of Community Assistance Programunder the small business/not for profit loan repayment program)04/27/2021
16. F.4
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve clarifications to the Collier Community Assistance Program to assist
sole proprietors under the Small Business/Not for Profit Loan Repayment program.
OBJECTIVE: To provide clarification for the Collier Community Assistance Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: At their February 9, 2021 meeting, the Board authorized an additional $21.7
million community assistance program through December 31, 2021 that included programs designed to
continue community support and expand the use of other relief programs.
The Board approved funding allocations for six different programs:.
(1) Individual Assistance
(2) Small Business / Not for Profit Loan Repayment
(3) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
(4) Senior and Social Service Support
(5) Food Security Emergency Assistance
(6) Community Outreach
During processing of Small Business / Not for Profit Loan Repayment applications, staff recognized that
clarifications related to sole proprietorships were needed in order to ensure timely review by staff and
payment by the Clerk of Courts Office. These community assistance programs do not fall under any
federal or state grantor agency requirements allowing the Board the authority to make these recommended
changes.
Small Business/ Not for Profit Loan Repayment
A sole proprietor operating under the owner's legal name is not required to register his/her name with the
Florida Division of Corporations. If any other name is used then registration is required. It is most
common to see a sole proprietor operating under a fictitious name and in that case registration is required.
Approval of this item will exempt a sole proprietor operating under the owner's legal name from the local
program requirement to hold an active SunBiz registration with the Florida Division of Corporations for
the purposes of processing their application since it is not required by law. This information has been
confirmed with the Florida Division of Corporations.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new fiscal impact associated with the clarification included in this item.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
support for approval. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve clarifications to the Collier Community Assistance Program to
assist sole proprietors under the Small Business/Not for Profit Loan Repayment.

Michelle,
In response to the attached RLS, a sole proprietor operating under the owner's legal name is not
required to register his/her name with the Florida Division of Corporations. If any other name is used
then registration is required.
It is most common to see a sole proprietor operating under a fictious name and in that case registration
is required.
This information is located at https://dos.myfIo rid a. co m/s unbiz/start-busin ess/corporate-structure/
The relevant portion is excerpted below.
What is a soie proprietorship?
> A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most €omm on structure chosen to start a
business_
> It is an unincorporated husiness owned and operated by one individual with no distinction
between the business and the ovrner.
> Sole proprietorships, when not operating underthe owner's legal name, must register a
fictitious name with the Division of Corporations_
> Contact an attorney or an accountant to determine if this structure works for you_
I hope you find this helpful!
