Business opportunities abound in South, leader says

The 71-year-old founder of Black Enterprise magazine says if he had to relive his life again, the Northeast wouldn't be where he'd live. He'd target the South because of its business opportunities.

“The South is where you need to be,” [Earl G.] Graves [Sr.] told students at USC’s Moore School of Business, referring to the region’s job growth and friendly small-business environment. “There’s a genuine opportunity here in the South if you’re serious about success.”
Graves, a native of New York, also pushed improvements to education and more workplace diversity in a story published today by The (Columbia, S.C.) State.

“The march toward opportunity ... is in real danger of marching right back into the shadows of disenfranchisement,” Graves said, mentioning shortcomings in public housing and schools, drug laws, manufacturing jobs and immigration policy.

Sorry I'm not a Brotha or a Sista, but watch out for scams. They could have higher taxes not just sales tax, but like property taxes if you own the land, insurance. It's damn near to get insurance in the south now, after all the hurricanes. Explore a business's expense in and out before you do anything.

Sounds like the south would be a great place to live if you wanted to start a small business (unless it's internet-based-- then it could be anywhere).
