Florida is in a recession.

So says a report from the state’s second largest bank.

The state’s economy shrank from April through June, according to Wachovia Economics Group. It was the first quarterly decline in 16 years.

At the same time, the nation’s gross domestic product grew.

“It takes a lot to produce a decline in gross state product,” Mark Vitner, Wachovia’s senior economist, said Friday. The combination of the free fall in home values and sales and the decline in construction-related employment walloped the state, he said.

Florida Named Best State for Business?

Unbelievably, no.

For the third consecutive year, Forbes.com has named Virginia the “Best State for Business.”

The state earned the rating based on such considerations as its business costs, labor issues, regulatory climate, economic climate, growth prospects and quality of life, according to a press release.

Virginia finished in the top 10 in four of those categories, taking the lead in the regulatory environment ranking, sixth in the quality of life and economic climate rankings and seventh in labor issues. Its costs ranked 20th and growth prospects ranked 26th, the release said.

“Virginia has long enjoyed a business-friendly climate,” said Gov. Timothy M. Kaine in a statement. “The commonwealth’s regulatory and legal environments are tough to beat, as well as our strong, educated labor force.

“This best-in-nation validation speaks volumes to our competitiveness in today’s global market,” continued the governor, who has announced $7.4 billion in economic investments and 53,159 new jobs since January 2006.

Forbes.com ranked Utah second for business followed by Washington, North Carolina and Georgia. Colorado, Idaho, Florida, Texas and Nebraska rounded out the list, the release said.

Here I found something else related…

Florida has the #1 Workforce in the nation, according to CNBC’s America’s Top States for Business.  Florida also ranked high in Technology & Innovation and Access to Capital.

Incorporation Documents and Choosing a Corporate Board of Directors

Here is a piece about how to organize a board of directors for your new corporation. Choosing a board of directors before you start your online incorporation is an important step that you should complete before you sit down at the computer to complete our online incorporation form. Follow the link to see more information.

Q: I’m incorporating a business for a new kind of Internet company and need to set up a board of directors as part of the incorporation documents. I know investors usually ask for board seats. What do you recommend? I don’t want to make any mistakes on the board that will hurt my chances for funding. – P.D., Vancouver, Wash.

A: Given the high level of online chatter and business press attention to the battle for Yahoo, it’s quite understandable for prospective tech-oriented entrepreneurs to ask more questions about the organization and role of a company’s board of directors.

It’s true some entrepreneurs look at the idea of fiduciary oversight as something that will rein in their imaginations and operating flexibility. They reason that they sought a more entrepreneurial workday to be their own boss. Yet, reporting to a board of directors on issues such as executive compensation, budgeting, stock issuance and where to invest money somehow lessens their authority.
