Sarasota - Start a Business, Retire, Or Both
Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Florica was crowned America’s best seashore. Sarasota is a great place to start a business, or retire, or both, which is what my wife and I have done.
Here are some of the attaboys that have come our way over the past few years:
• Money Magazine calls Sarasota-Manatee one of the “Best Places to Live and Launch a Business.”
• Money Magazine, CNBC and Portfolio.com each awarded Sarasota-Manatee their top designation as “Best Place to Retire.”
• Money Magazine named Sarasota-Manatee the “Best Place to Retire Young.”
