Buy a business in New York: The New York Business Climate

By Achim Neumann

New York is one of the most prominent and populous states in the US with an estimated population of over twenty million. The state is known to be the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world. New York is also one of the most important centers for international diplomacy.

So what does it take to start or buy a business in New York? As a home for the most sophisticated business entrepreneurs to the largest corporations alike, what is the business climate of New York?

The business climate of New York has been labeled as one of the most complicated. But you can’t help but wonder how large corporations still retain their status as yet a progressive company. How do ordinary residents live in New York even under the circumstances?

What are the Setbacks in New York?

For many reasons, there have been numerous negative feedback on the business climate of New York. The state is known to have the highest tax from individual income tax, unemployment insurance tax, to property taxes.

Union Workforce is also among the highest in the Country. The union serves as the intermediary for the employee and the employer. It is also dedicated to protecting its member’s interest such as an improvement of their wages and working conditions. However, with a large labor union, it forces the hiring sector to hire union workers with a high salary rate but lower working hours.

While New York might be a bit more difficult than other states, it’s for good reason. Other states are attempting to allure businesses while New York is one of the largest economies in the world (much larger than some country’s total GDP!). Doing your due-diligence in selling or buying a business in New York is paramount, but there is serious upsides as well.

What Good is there in New York for you?

New York is home to the largest companies in the United States. As such, it also offers numerous opportunities to anyone looking to move into the bustling state. On the plus side, New York has an industrial workforce with an economic pool of professional and educated laborers. The Empire State is also rich with cultural and recreational resources. New York prides itself as being the global hub of business and is home to 10 % of the largest companies in the United States.

Final Verdict on New York’s Business Climate

New York is a state that is run by people who are passionately driven. They utilize what resources the State has to give to their advantage. If you are set in moving to New York, what you need is to adjust to a competitive environment with a high cultural and economic standard and you should be able to prosper.

Does Business Climate matter? Yes, it does. To start a business or move to a new place, is to have an in-depth study of its environment and use that knowledge to set a stepping stone for your envisioned goal.

Another main advantage is the fact that if you want to buy a business in New York, it will most likely already have been established and profitable meaning the hard part was taken care of and with good management, implementation of new processes, etc. things could very well skyrocket.

Client Testimonials

“I'm an attorney. I have represented the buyers and sellers of businesses for 20+ years. Recently I had the pleasure of handling a transaction where Richard Wilder of A. Neumann & Associates was the broker for the seller. Mr. Wilder was of great service to his client. He is very knowledgeable and organized. Thanks to his guidance the transaction proceeded smoothly and closed on time. He is highly recommended.”

Nick Ferrante

“Richard, you came to my office a few years ago and were wonderful in explaining your process and procedures. Our company is probably an anomaly in that we sold the majority to two long time employees and I financed them both. Our company is entering its 45th year and is still thriving. The purpose of the note is to thank you very much for the service that you provide. Thank you again.”

John Foug, Seller

“We had a great experience working with Richard Wilder from Neumann and Associates as the sell-side broker for Blade Runners. He was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly had his client’s best interests at heart. Richard helped keep the process smooth for everyone, and thanks in part to his efforts, we found a fantastic owner to partner with. We'd gladly work with Richard and the Neumann and Associates team again.”

Justin Martin

“Very happy with Richard and the entire process. I was on the buyer side of the transaction.”

Isaac Palmer, Jr.

“If you are looking for a professional and informative company that meets your needs, A Neumann & Associates is the company to go with. Ted Kantor went above and beyond to make our experience as easy as possible. Ted was helpful from the start of our process to the end. He was there every step of the way to guide us and answer all of our questions. He handled all of the in-depth communication and followed up on every detail. We strongly recommend Ted Kantor to help you whether you're buying or selling. It was a great experience. We never imagined it would go as smooth as it did. The Laluna's (Andy, Maria & Tony Jr)”

Maria Laluna

“A Pleasure to work with - I highly recommend them! Working with Richard Wilder was a pleasure, and he found us the perfect match.”

Laura Keith-Macario

“This spring we acquired a business that was represented by Richard Wilder at A Neumann & Associates. Small business acquisitions can be very emotional for the sellers and life-changing for the buyers, and Richard was keenly aware of this throughout the process. Although he was working for the sellers and not for us, he knew that most business owners see their business as their baby so the only way to have a happy outcome for his clients was to also have a happy outcome for the buyers. Knowing how nerve-wracking this process can be (think home buying x 10), he never dropped the ball on keeping everyone updated, anticipating potential snags, and guiding us along in the process. We highly recommend Richard.”

Shannon, Buyer

“My business was my baby for over 40 years. It is a tough and cruel world out there when it comes to selling your business. Neuman and Associates provided the professional guidance/protection to get the job done with care and no pressure. In my view a tremendous value. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to sell their business. Eric Storck, president of Blade Runners Inc.”

Eric Storck, President - Blade Runners Inc.
