Employees looking to strike out on their own will find the Maimi area a great place to start a business. Miami is home to one of only two U.S. Small Business Administration Business Information Centers in Florida. This great resource provides assistance and advice to new business owners, provides Miami job listings and maintains a large reference library of books, periodicals, videotapes and CD-ROMs. For more information, visit the office at 49 NW 5th Street or call (305) 536-5521. And since Miami has some great tax advantages -- in addition to no local or state personal income taxes, there’s no local corporate tax and low state corporate tax rate of 5.5% -- starting a business in Miami may be less financially challenging then you’d imagined.
