Key industries

Miami’s economy is driven by a powerful mix of finance, private wealth, real estate, tourism and hospitality, international trade, aviation and yachting, technology, and increasingly private equity and family offices.

It serves as a gateway between North America, Latin America, and Europe, making it a major hub for cross-border investment, logistics, and global entrepreneurship.

In recent years, fintech, crypto, and alternative investment firms have also expanded rapidly, strengthening Miami’s position as a serious financial center rather than just a lifestyle destination.

global connectivity

Business friendly

Florida offers no state income tax, a streamlined company formation process, and a regulatory framework that is generally considered pro-business.

Miami benefits from strong legal protections under the U.S. system, access to sophisticated banking and advisory services, and a deep network of internationally experienced lawyers, accountants, and structuring specialists.

Combined with its global connectivity, favorable tax climate, and concentration of high-net-worth individuals and investors, this creates an environment where founders and private clients can structure, operate, and scale efficiently.
