Connecticut State Business Resources

Connecticut is often looked at as a sidekick to New York; a secondary option when the wealthy want to escape the Big Apple. However, Connecticut has established its identity as another go-to destination not just for tourism but also for business investors.

This state is a great place to live for families that want a spacious place to live in; rather than being cramped in a small apartment in New York. The quality and cost of living is definitely a huge improvement. The state is also known for its great public schools and a thriving economy with plenty of employment and business opportunities.

A modest tax incentive is being looked at by lawmakers in an effort to attract more investors to the state. This particular tax incentive is also being explored for existing businesses. These are all part of the efforts to bring in more businesses and to help give the economy a boost.

Aside from digital media, there are many other thriving industries in Connecticut that includes rail transport, insurance, engineering, private health care, data processing services, business and personal services, and tourism. These are the best industries to explore for those who want to start a new business in Connecticut. For business insurance related info please refer to our more in depth article.
