Why Choose Florida?

Dreamers and doers have a history of staking their fortunes and futures on Florida. Sixteenth-century explorers came from the old world to plant the first permanent new world settlement here; four centuries later, a new generation of explorers went from this world to plant our country’s flag outside of it.

Fifty years have passed since two astronauts from Florida first landed on the moon. Yet dreamers and doers still make their way here. Why? Because Florida has so much to offer … the right business climate; the right connections via land, sea and air; the right 21st-century talent; the right proximity to both domestic and international markets; and, last but not least, the right life to come home to at the end of the day.

Selecting the right place in which to grow an existing business or launch a new one is a time-consuming process. But as you weigh the pros and cons of one site over another, consider this: established companies all across this state once grappled with your same concerns. They found success in Florida. You can too.

At the end of the day, we believe your best choice is Florida. Read on to learn, in greater detail, the five reasons why, then join us. We look forward to welcoming you home.
