Florida is Great for Business Startups in 2026

We are still in the beginning of the year, plenty of time to start a new business!

Have you heard? A new study says Florida is the best state to start a business in 2026. The study points to low business costs, low corporate taxes, and a growing workforce as the main reasons.

WalletHub looked at all 50 states and compared them based on business environment, access to resources, and overall costs. That included things like how many startups there are, how fast the economy is growing, and how easy it is to get small-business loans.

Florida stood out for having the highest percentage of adults starting their own businesses and one of the highest numbers of startups per person. The state also ranked second overall for business environment, just behind Texas.

Another key factor is population growth. Florida’s working-age population is growing faster than almost every other state, helping make it an attractive place for new businesses.

Florida set another tourism record in 2025, welcoming 143.3 million visitors! The state saw its highest-ever fourth quarter with 33.5 million visitors, and domestic travelers made up over 91% of the total. International travel also grew, with 9.3 million overseas visitors and 2.9 million Canadians.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the surge reflects Florida’s investments in infrastructure, safety, and environmental efforts, reinforcing its position as the #1 U.S. travel destination.
