Survey Says: Florida CEOs Optimistic

Florida business owners are feeling good about the financial health of their companies. Our survey of Florida business leaders revealed that the health of their companies improved in 2012, and nearly 58 percent are optimistic that progress will continue this year.

This positive outlook among business leaders should lead to increase in employment, with nearly 55% of those surveyed saying they’d be adding one to 10 employees this year.

When asked their areas of concern, taxes were mentioned most frequently while the economy, government instability and regulations continue to stay top-of-mind as the biggest concerns among companies.

Nearly 500 CEOs, presidents and business owners responded to Kaufman, Rossin’s survey, with the highest concentration of businesses in South Florida and the Tampa Bay-area.

So, are you feeling optimistic about your business this year?
