Head Matter:
Arthur CONSOLI, an individual, Baptist Hospital and Health Care Systems, Inc., and Life Core, Inc., Appellants, v. ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS, INC., Appellee.
No. 91-00030.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
May 10, 1991.
Kimberly A. Bald and Mark A. Nelson of Harllee, Porges, Hamlin & Hamrick, P.A., Bradenton, for appellants.
Leo H. Meirose, Jr., of Allen & Meirose, P.A., Tampa, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellants, nonresident defendants, appeal a nonfinal order denying their motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Because appellee alleged the appellants were doing business in Florida but failed to allege any connection between the business and the cause of action, we must reverse. § 48.181, Fla.Stat. (1989). On remand, appellee should be given the opportunity to amend the complaint to allege long-arm jurisdiction over the nonresident appellants.
SCHOONOVER, C.J., and RYDER and PARKER, JJ., concur.
