Title:……………………………………..
Miami is number 1 spot for starting a small business in the U.S., according to Biz2Credit’s
annual rankings of the Top 25 Cities for Small Business Growth released Tuesday.
More than 82,000 small businesses employ 53% of the Miami-Dade County’s workforce.
A number of factors are driving small business growth. One is a rise in immigration; many
entrepreneurs bring high skills to the area. Another is a shift to more gig-oriented work. Government support
for this key employment sector is also driving the trend.
The city’s economy is boosted by a thriving tourism industry, along with international trade,
financial services (Miami is home to the largest concentration of international banks in the U.S.) and
telecommunications, as Miami is the most important city in the country for Spanish-language media.
Construction in Miami is still robust, and the area continues to attract entrepreneurs, especially Latino small
business owners.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has pushed to upgrade government processes that are typically
slow moving, such as the process for obtaining a permit to open a small business. On Oct. 1, 2018, the city
launched its Electronic Plan Review (ePlan) to provide residents, contractors and developers with the option
to apply, upload drawings and documents for permits electronically via smartphone or computer. This service
speeds up the permitting process by replacing the traditional paper-based review method, thereby improving
the plan review cycle.
