What the numbers show

Florida’s 6,776,256 companies place it 2nd nationally, 10.5% of the U.S. total. Activity clusters in its largest metros — Miami, Orlando and Tampa alone account for 21.3% of the state’s companies — while industrial & mechanical is the dominant sector at 29.6%. For buyers and sellers, that means the deepest pools of suppliers and manufacturers sit in a handful of cities and one or two sectors; the charts above link straight into each so you can shortlist by capability and region.
