Florida Ranks High for Business!

Florida Places #2 in the Nation for Doing Business

Sarasota, FL - Here's another good reason to buy real estate in Sarasota: Florida has been voted a top state in the nation for business.

Florida was voted #2 in Best States for business in an annual survey of top CEOs by Chief Executive Magazine.

In the survey, CEOs were asked to grade states in respect to business taxes, business regulation, workforce quality and flexibility, and overall quality of life. Florida and most of the other states in the "TOP TEN" are right-to-work states, and this is not a coincidence. When businesses move to a new state (often to escape over-regulation and high taxation), workforce flexibility is one of the qualities they seek. Several noted economists (Ohio State’s Richard Vedder and Harvard’s Robert Barro) have recently found that economies grow faster in right-to-work states, and those states tend to draw more laborers from other states. Florida has been a right-to-work state for many years, but in 2011 the state also enacted several other regulatory and tax reforms that increased Florida's ability to entice relocating businesses. 

Right now, Florida's the perfect spot for relocating your home, your business, or buying investment real estate. In Sarasota, homes and condos for sale are still affordable, and there are many exceptional family estates, golf homes, beach homes, luxury condos, waterfront properties, and more available here.
