Florida’s booming economy has solidified its position as a national leader in business growth, but with this unprecedented expansion comes heightened challenges for business planning. According to recent data from the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Florida Chamber Foundation, small businesses are driving much of this growth, representing 99.8% of all Florida businesses and contributing a net increase of over 236,000 jobs between March 2022 and March 2023.

Beatrice Bianchi Fasani, a Miami-based business law and estate planning attorney focused on succession and tax planning, highlights the importance of planning ahead in this evolving landscape.
A Thriving but Competitive Market
Florida has experienced an influx of high-income residents, with $36.1 billion in net income migration reported in 2022—the highest in the nation. Meanwhile, small businesses continue to flourish, with over 3.3 million now operating statewide, supporting 40.9% of Florida’s workforce. Yet, as new ventures arise, so do complexities in tax regulations, succession planning, and compliance requirements.
“The numbers are inspiring,” says Fasani. “However, with rapid growth comes an equal need for strategic business planning, particularly in succession planning to ensure longevity and stability.”
Succession Planning: A Growing Necessity
As Florida’s economy becomes increasingly diversified, the need for businesses to safeguard their legacies has never been more critical. The Florida Chamber Foundation’s mid-year report highlights the state’s goal of becoming one of the top 10 global economies by 2030, further underscoring the need for businesses to remain competitive and sustainable.
“We see businesses grappling with generational transitions,” says Fasani. “Many owners overlook the importance of creating a robust succession plan until it’s too late, which can jeopardize years of hard work.” She advises businesses to implement tailored strategies that account for tax efficiency, leadership continuity, and asset protection.
Tailored Legal Strategies for Sustained Success
The evolving economic environment demands that business owners adopt a proactive approach to legal and financial planning. Fasani’s firm, Bianchi Fasani Green Law in Miami, provides comprehensive solutions that address these challenges head-on. Services include:
- Entity Formation and Structuring: Helping businesses optimize their tax positions while ensuring compliance with Florida’s regulatory framework.
- Succession and Estate Planning: Designing strategies to seamlessly transition ownership while minimizing tax burdens.
- Asset Protection: Creating safeguards for business and personal assets against potential liabilities.
“We’re not just planning for the next fiscal year—we’re planning for generations,” Fasani explains. “A comprehensive strategy is the cornerstone of resilience in a competitive market.”
Florida’s Road Ahead
With a projected annual GDP growth of 7% and a steady influx of talent and capital, Florida’s economy shows no signs of slowing down. However, the data also reveals increasing population outflow due to rising living costs and other economic pressures. This dual dynamic reinforces the importance of sound business planning.
“Business owners in Florida are uniquely positioned to thrive,” says Fasani. “But success isn’t guaranteed. Strategic planning, particularly in areas like succession and tax management, is essential to navigating the challenges of a rapidly changing market.”
