BUSINESS

Dear Friend,

The City of Orlando consistently ranks as one of the best places in the nation to launch and operate a business. Recently, Entrepreneur Magazine touted Orlando as being “one of the most highly coordinated entrepreneurial engines in the country” crediting the success to our region’s public and private sector’s ability to cooperate and collaborate.

This website is a resource for business owners and entrepreneurs in the City of Orlando. It is designed to give you an overview of what you need to know to start and operate a business in the City. I hope you find this website full of useful contacts and information to make starting and operating a business in the City as convenient and easy as possible.

I would like to thank our City's business owners for their tremendous contribution to our community. Through your vision, innovation and hard work, you enhance our community and continue to diversify Orlando’s economy.

Sincerely,

Buddy Dyer
Mayor
