Welcome to the Business Solutions home page. The Missouri Business and Community Service Division offers businesses seeking to relocate to Missouri a wide range of tools and detailed information to help you make your decision easier.

Located in the nation's heartland, Missouri offers a strong, stable and diverse economy that is essential to the success of both large and small businesses. Missouri offers one of the most diverse economies in the nation, meaning that the economic environment is both robust and resilient.

As Missouri makes its transition into the new technology-based economy, the state is building strong clusters in the plant and life sciences, information technology and advanced manufacturing industries. The state is also working to strengthen the competitiveness of its traditional industries, such as communications, transportation, non-durable and durable manufacturing, wholesale trade, health services and construction.

Missouri is an affordable place to do business. The cost of many key operating expenses such as office space, electricity and natural gas are well below the national average. Missouri ranks 38th in the nation in state and local taxes as a percentage of personal income.
