Tampa has emerged as a major growth market in Florida, driven by a diversified economy that includes finance, healthcare, professional services, and a rapidly expanding entrepreneurial sector. The city’s low corporate tax burden, no personal state income tax, and favorable regulatory environment make it an attractive location for both local expansion and corporate relocation. Its port facilities and proximity to key Florida markets position it as a logistics and services hub, which in turn supports strong business formation and acquisition activity.

​

The local economy is anchored by companies such as Raymond James Financial, WellCare Health Plans, and a growing roster of technology and professional services firms. The city’s political and economic stability has encouraged private equity firms and strategic acquirers to target Tampa-based companies for both platform and bolt-on acquisitions. While Florida’s overall tax environment is favorable, businesses expanding into multiple states must proactively manage sales and income tax nexus risks to protect profitability.
