For companies looking for agents, distributors, sales representatives, and business partners abroad, the Gold Key Matching Service from US Commercial Services can provide the perfect solution. This service can organize connections with pre-selected business partners and help them with travel, accommodation, interpreters, and administrative service. One company that has taken advantage of this service is Paramount Transportation Logistics. While the company already had operations in Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky and Colorado, it chose Lee County in large part because of the incentive offered by the county.
Through PoweringFlorida, FPL offers incentive programs to encourage business growth in the Sunshine State. The packages are funded by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's industry-specific qualified tax refund program, which requires Lee County to provide a 20 percent contribution. While Paramount considered other larger markets, such as Atlanta, Charlotte and Chicago, as potential expansion sites, it ultimately chose Lee County due to the incentives offered by the county. From financial services to logistics to manufacturing, Lee County can offer what businesses need to thrive. In addition to the financial benefit offered by Lee County, Southwest Florida also provides Paramount with a growing area with a youth activity environment to help improve the quality of life for potential employees. The Lee County EDO and the Lee County Industrial Development Authority offer financial assistance to small businesses that use the Gold Key Matching service from US Commercial Services.
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (IDRB) are long-term, tax-exempt, low-rate funds to finance capital requirements for new or expanding manufacturing facilities in Lee County. The county has also secured a commitment from Paramount Transportation Logistics to expand its operations in Lee County. First Family Insurance is another example of a business that has taken advantage of the incentives offered by Lee County. First Family Insurance is a leading affordable health insurance, Medicare, and life, property, and business protection agency that works with some of the most respected insurance providers in the United States.
