Major international and domestic organizations spanning every industry — from banking to food markets to aerospace and defense — already have headquarters based in the state, and your business will benefit from this established network.
With more than 10 million workers statewide — the third-largest civilian labor force in the U.S. in 2019, Florida’s skilled workers are ready to take your business to the next level. Florida continues to add to its robust and diverse workforce through its world-class educational institutions, which are among the nation’s top performers of R&D and commercialization of technologies.
With a low corporate tax rate of 5.5% and the state sales tax rate of 6%, Florida ranks low compared to other states in the nation in terms of the tax burden placed on its residents and businesses. Plus, the 0% personal income tax is a compelling incentive for business owners looking to attract out-of-state job hunters.
