The Place
Miami, Florida, is the international city that has both the vibrant energy and the
shimmering mirage of wealth and beautiful people.
Miami is a city located in South-Eastern Florida. It is known as the principal,
the central and the most vibrant city of the South Florida metropolitan area. Miami
is also the hub of an ever-growing financial industry, an energetic culture and
a chic entertainment industry, all attractively wrapped in a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
In 2010, Miami ranked 7th out of the 50 federal states in the USA in terms of finance,
commerce, culture, entertainment, fashion and education.
The Economy
Miami is one of the most important financial centres in the United States, boasting
a strong international business community.
It is currently ranked the 20th worldwide in terms of GDP, the 11th in the United
States and one of the country's fastest-growing economies.
Miami has a highly-diversified economy driven by tourism, trade, manufacturing,
services, real estate and construction.
Several large international companies are headquartered in Miami, including Burger
King, Carnival Cruise Lines and World Fuel Services. In addition, due to its proximity
to Latin America, Miami serves as the headquarters of Latin American operations
for more than 1400 multi-national corporations, including AIG, American Airlines,
Disney, FedEx, Microsoft and Yahoo.
The Lifestyle
Miami boasts a unique, cosmopolitan and luxurious lifestyle that carries an edge
of the neighbouring Caribbean and Latin American elements.
It is home to world-class entertainment venues, theatres, museums, parks and performing
arts centres. Many residents would agree that “you will never be bored in Miami!”
Miami is also a major centre of cutting-edge fashion and home to some of the top
modelling agencies in the world. It hosts many fashion shows and events, including
the annual Miami Fashion Week and the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami for the famous
trend-setters.
Miami boasts ideal weather conditions almost 365 days a year, making it amongst
the best places in the world to live and work in!
The Prospects
It comes as no surprise that many choose to relocate to this fantastic city. Doing
business in Miami very much carries the same ambitious elements as most states in
the North America.
With over 1.6 million British expatriates wanting to invest, Miami is full of business
prospects, with next to no local competition in the market.
In June 2011, The deVere Group, the largest independent financial consultancy in
the world became the first financial company to obtain both a UK and USA licence.
With this highly-competitive edge, deVere opened an office in the same month in
the heart of Florida, only 6 miles away from the world-famous Miami Beach!
