Florida - A Great Place for Small Business

According to a recent study by bizjournals.com, Florida is a great place for small business. The report listed the top ten markets and Florida held four of those top five spots.

Top Florida metropolitan areas for small business growth:

• Orlando
• Sarasota-Bradenton
• Miami-Fort Lauderdale
• Jacksonville

The study used a 12-part formula for looking at 75 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. The four Florida markets all shared similar qualities; rapid growth in population, employment and the number of small businesses. The lone exception to Florida's dominance was in Las Vegas, which came in ranked at number four.

While the report noted that new construction has been scaled back throughout the state, other new business formation is strong in all markets. Obviously, other than the housing sector, Florida looks like a great place to conduct business now and into the future.
