Opening a subsidiary in the United States is a very important step for international companies looking to wisely invest their capital and grow their business in this market.

Miami is a well-known touristic destination but in recent years, the Gem of the Sunshine State has become a thriving business, financial and logistics hub.

With pristine tropical beaches, good weather year round, 7 universities as main drivers of young talent and a growing economy, Miami is an easy decision when looking for the best location for a subsidiary in the US.

Here are the main reasons to consider Miami as the city hosting your US Headquarters:

1. Business-Friendly Legislature –For starters, land, labor, and capital are more affordable in Florida than in California or New York. Business dollars go a lot farther in Florida given the state’s tax advantages, tax exemptions and no state personal income tax. Companies thrive in this low-tax environment, and employees enjoy the benefit of no personal income tax.
2. Strategic Distribution Hub– trucks full of merchandise being exported to Latin America and Europe and returning empty to their home States, making it more affordable to transport for your products to the rest of the country from Miami. There is a wealth of brokers specializing in coordinating cargo with the returning trucks, reason why Miami is a strategic location for a distribution center.
3. Key Location– with 2 main ports and 2 international airports, Miami is steps away from it all – from product shipping to business travel.
4. International Community– for hiring, market testing or even quality of life, an international community tends to be more open and welcoming to new comers, helping your business to find a home.
5. Quality of Life– which city in the US will your employees be more willing to relocate to? Or your family? Or yourself? Miami is most likely just a direct flight to your home country and to the rest of US main cities. With sunny days everyday: sports, outdoors activities, international events and walks on the beach could become part of your new routine.
