Good morning,
If you're a business owner in Florida right now, you might be feeling a sense of whiplash. On one hand, national headlines are filled with economic pessimism—talk of inflation, high interest rates, and recession fears. Yet, right here in Florida, the story feels completely different. We're living in a state that's leading the nation in economic growth, business relocations, and population influx.
This is the great duality of our 2025 market: a climate of national caution set against a backdrop of undeniable local opportunity. This "Florida Advantage" is real, but it has also created a unique set of challenges. We're grappling with a property insurance crisis that's squeezing margins, a cooling housing market that impacts affordability, and new volatility in our cornerstone tourism sector.
How do you navigate this? How do you position your business to thrive, grow, and maximize its value for a future sale in such a complex environment?
Success requires moving beyond the headlines to understand the specific forces shaping our local economy. To help you do just that, I'm launching a special 5-part newsletter series next week. Each day, we will break down a critical topic that every Florida business owner, buyer, and investor needs to understand right now.
Here’s what you can expect:
Monday: The 2025 Economic Landscape: A deep dive into the national pulse vs. the Florida advantage and the specific headwinds you need to watch.
Tuesday: The New Business Playbook: Unpacking the three key trends—AI, Sustainability, and Cybersecurity—that are redefining what it means to be a competitive business.
Wednesday: A Guide for Business Sellers: Proven strategies to maximize your company's value and prepare for a successful, profitable exit.
Thursday: A Guide for Business Buyers: How to acquire the right business the right way, from financing your purchase to avoiding critical due diligence traps unique to Florida.
Friday: Florida's New Rules of Business: An essential briefing on the 2025 legislative changes, including the repeal of the commercial rent tax and the new non-compete law that will dramatically impact your business.
I look forward to sharing these insights with you.
