Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Business Opportunities

I purchased a business opportunity in Nov 2003 for $13,000 and 7 months later realized the company is a fraud. The company was not registered to sell business opp at the time and filed for corporate dissolution in 9/03 and their status is inactive. The President was arrested and fined for failing to comply with the state.

I have filed a complaint with Business Regulation and they are conducting an investigation. The company has made promises and continues to make them without acting on those promises. I would like to pursue a refund of my investment. Do you have any recommendations on how I should go about this. Thank you.
