Florida is one of the fastest-growing states in the country and a big part of the state’s success story is thanks to the success of the city of Tampa.

Tampa’s economic growth is outpacing the rest of the country. Companies set up, expand, and relocate here because of its low tax and business-friendly environment.

For companies wanting to offer hybrid or remote working, a virtual office in Tampa is the ideal solution. In this article, we sum up the advantages Tampa offers and share eight stand-out Regus office locations.

Why a Tampa virtual office is ideal for your business

Tampa will make your business feel welcome, with it being recognized as the third-best place in America to start a company. But this isn’t the case for just large multinational corporations, it’s also been commended as the second-best location for young entrepreneurs.

It’s a great place to live as well as run a company. International realtor Sotheby’s rated Tampa as having the best quality of life in America, given its affordability, environmental quality, and safety.

Its economy has also embraced the global shift to hybrid working. This works for entrepreneurs as their costs are lower because they don’t need permanent physical office space. Staff appreciate the flexibility to work from different locations too.

But there are many other key factors for you to consider to understand why a virtual office address here will help your business grow.

Thriving business environment

Tampa, located on Florida's Gulf Coast, has a diverse economy and is home to some of the state’s biggest names in insurance, finance, and banking.

Key economic sectors include:

● Defense and security
● Financial and professional services
● Information technology
● Life sciences and healthcare
● Manufacturing, distribution, and logistics

There are 19 corporate headquarters in Tampa Bay, including seven Fortune 100 firms. The area is a magnet for foreign investment too with 500 companies from 40 countries based here.

Tampa isn’t just home to big corporations, though. It has a booming SMB scene and lending platform Biz2Credit recently ranked the city as the 15^th best for small firms.

Access to talent

Florida is the number one state in the U.S. for higher education. This esteemed status is helped considerably by the highly-regarded University of South Florida and the University of Tampa both being located in the Tampa region.

It’s no surprise then that the city is home to some of America’s most talented workers, with three-quarters of graduates staying in Tampa after they get their degrees.

Economic opportunities

In the last decade, Tampa’s economy has grown by 62%, demonstrating its resilience even in the face of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It also boasts the 14th most diverse economy in the US. This diversity not only ensures greater economic stability but also offers businesses a wide range of opportunities and sectors to tap into.

It will also position you to withstand economic downturns effectively and adapt to ever-changing market demands.

Business-friendly

Businesses are voting with their feet. They’re leaving the greater costs of New York and California for more business-friendly locations. Many are choosing the Sunshine State and Tampa in particular.

One of the key draws is Florida’s lack of any state income tax. It also has a low corporation tax of 5.5% and a sales tax of 6%.

This makes it easier to run a financially leaner business in Tampa, leaving you greater profits and opportunities to reinvest in your commercial vision.

Tech and innovation hub

Over recent years, Tampa has become a major hub for tech firms.

This is where 75% of Florida’s tech jobs are, a key reason behind the decision for many big tech firms to have a base here. The city is sixth in the country for tech firms relocating.

Ideal location

Location-wise, Tampa has a lot to offer. It has a well-connected airport and a large seaport. It also offers a network of highways throughout and enjoys convenient access to many of the US interstates.

With such an integrated and comprehensive travel network, both getting across Tampa and accessing the thriving economies of the southeastern US and beyond are effortless.

Financial technology

Tampa Bay is fast becoming a hub for financial technology startups.

This has been propelled by the University of South Florida launching a FinTech Center. This isn’t only meant to attract businesses but also aims to create a pipeline of future leaders in the industry to cement the city’s fintech future.

The number of fintech firms with investor backing here has now exceeded 40, further illustrating Tampa’s growing influence in this industry.
