The Bottom Line
Florida is not just attracting retirees anymore. It has become the top state for business formation, and the numbers show a clear pattern: founders overwhelmingly choose LLCs (90%), concentrate in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, and start across a wide range of industries.
Florida's lack of state income tax and business-friendly regulation are not just talking points. They are visible in the filing data. If you are watching where American entrepreneurship is heading, Florida is ground zero.
