 Months paid bereavement leave that is the plan heading to new york governor Cuomo's desk but critics say this will drive companies out of new york so what are the states that are fostering a pro-business environment if you want to start a business where do you want to go here now to break down the top three is the founder of the stock swoosh Melissa Armo thanks so much for coming on this morning so this plan actually is interesting in enough is for new yorkers it's actually a bipartisan plan and it's a plan to help people out if you have bereavement and it could be anything from a child or a parent to a grandparent three months off is a lot of time I know it is a burden on a small business owner right yes and it's unfortunate obviously when people pass away but as far as business owners go they're gonna be without employees then for a whole three months just like as if someone had a pregnancy leave and what if they had two or three overlapping employees at the very same time that could be hard on a business yeah a bunch of it is funded by us very small percentage of your tax which will go up here in New York a higher tax point one percent something like that that will also be taken out of our paychecks to pay for that but then the employers have to deal with the staffing shortage and everything else you're talking about yeah I think it's gonna be hard on small to mid-sized businesses this isn't really something that's gonna be a problem for the amazons or googles of the world it's this it's a little guys but it's another liberal policy in another blue state that makes it harder to do business we see things like this in California all the time and we've seen an exodus from there let's talk about the three businesses where if you want to do business it probably is the better place to go and we start with a state not a lot of people think about Wyoming I know supposedly it's beautiful I've never been there ever been there good skiing I've never been I've always wanted to go to Jacksonville yeah well we can go we can start a business today so how it works is no corporate income tax and no individual tax so that is phenomenal and then no groceries tax so that's very important especially we're starting out the business low sales tax rate that sales look at that it's more than double of that is the sales tax it's like 8.8 here yeah so much 9% also a lot of entrepreneurs in the state which is great and a lot of businesses that start out there survive you know in New York state a lot of businesses start-ups fail you see restaurants business is closing constantly in New York not here in Wyoming good stats for that state it's interesting you just got to find people to buy your products in Wyoming that's the tough part there's not a lot of people out there alright let's talk about Delaware a very small state on the East Coast that gets overlooked a lot you wouldn't believe this but 64% of the companies the Fortune 500 companies actually are incorporated in the state of Delaware it's not just tax friendly it's also friendly as far as the legalities of setting things up they were there's so many companies you wouldn't even know are incorporated in the state of Delaware a state that you can drive across in about 20 minutes and you said 64% 64% so that's the Fortune 500 company they invite them right in very friendly there yeah okay absolutely so Delaware is another one to think about Florida now Florida is friendly for a different set of reasons I lived there for three years no state income that saves you so much money you don't realize it but once you go there and you live there huge savings and also low corporate state tax as well for businesses so again very business friendly and a lot of entrepreneurs there as well again hundred start-up firms are thousand yeah make it and that is just huge and the climate young people go there want to be there you have the beaches you have the warm weather pay you with the sunshine so that's great and there are other states Nevada Arizona states that are taking all of California's businesses away that that make it very friendly and they learn because they see these policies come in they're not business friendly and they say you know what let's make them business friendly we can steal all those businesses and then they're healthier that's right you know what with Trump passing this new tax to corporations it's he's trying to get people he's trying to get businesses to ramp it up so why New York is passing these laws to hurt right this is for this state it doesn't make any sense to me we're learning how to compete with the rest of the world to under this administration Melissa thank you so much for your time we appreciate it coming up deadly
