Enterprise Florida

Florida’s economy continues to grow and create private-sector jobs, buoyed by the pro-business policies put in place by Governor Scott and our legislature. Through eight legislative sessions under Scott, $10 billion in taxes was cut and $10 billion in state debt was paid off. Through February 2018, nearly 1.5 million private-sector jobs have been created in the state, and Florida’s small businesses are the foundation for that growth. From manufacturing and healthcare to aerospace and professional services, Florida’s small businesses are some of the world’s most innovative companies. Enterprise Florida is proud to support the state’s small businesses by helping find the resources needed for success. Our trade and development team maintains an extensive schedule of worldwide trade missions and exhibitions to help small businesses grow in international markets. Last year, more than 500 small and mid-sized businesses reported $738 million in total export sales following international events.
