In a recent study, Florida was named the # 2 place in the country to bring your business.

Based on factors including taxes, utility rates and economic incentives, big companies will be well served to move their companies here to Florida. Florida also scored high for employment growth, low corporate income tax rates, and the absence of personal income tax, making the state very attractive from a business perspective.

Add to that the natural beauty of our beaches, year round sunshine and proximity to so many great family destinations, and Florida is a great place to relocate.

Sarasota is a logical place to come, being situated an hour from Tampa,a growing area of commerce. Nearby Bradenton is home to several major corporations. These towns are an easy commute from Sarasota, which arguably is one of the most beautiful gulf-front small towns, with fantastic amenities - a great place to call home.

The study was conducted by Chicago-based Pollina Corporate Real Estate, which specializes in corporate relocation.
