In recent years, the number of people moving to Phoenix, Arizona has increased dramatically. The combination of sunlight, warm year round weather and a surging economy make Phoenix a very attractive destination. Let’s take a look at why buying a business for sale in Phoenix is a winning proposition.
Why Choose Phoenix?
Phoenix enjoys much of what Southern California has to offer, such as ample sunlight, great weather and plenty of jobs and business opportunities, but lacks many of Southern California’s notorious downsides such as exceedingly long travel times and out of control pollution. Additionally, Arizona also enjoys better home prices and businesses sale prices than California. In short when all the factors are added together, the uptick in Phoenix’s popularity is easy to understand.
Recently, Forbes Magazine listed Phoenix as one of the top places for young professionals. In particular, Forbes listed Phoenix as one of the overall happiest locations for young professionals. No doubt, the young professional friendly profile of Phoenix adds to the city’s allure.

Income taxes are also lower in Phoenix than the national average. (The income tax rate in Phoenix is just 3.36% whereas the income tax rate nationally is 4.72%.)
