Montana Means Business
The State of Montana offers businesses a variety of tax credits, reductions and rebates in order to provide incentives to companies to locate to Montana and to expand and increase wages. In addition, Montana ranked 8th in Business Tax Climate by Business Facilities Magazine and 5th in ‘Cost of Doing Business’ by CNBC – and Montana has no sales tax and no inventory tax!
Room for Growth
One thing Montana is not short on is open space. We have plenty of room for your business to grow and expand. In addition to our wide-open spaces, we have a variety of industrial, technology, business parks, and tax increment financing districts for your business to thrive in.
A Ready Workforce
Montana businesses benefit from the investment Montana makes in future employees. Two or four-year institutions are located in each of Montana’s major employment and trade centers and Montana’s technical colleges partner with business and industry to meet the employment needs of the community.
Education is something Montanans take seriously. Our dedicated teachers and professors are some of the best in the nation. And with a student to teacher ratio well below the national average, teachers have the opportunity to effectively instruct their students. Montana ranks second best in the nation for the percentage of its population that has graduated from high school, and a quarter of the 25-and-older population possesses a bachelor’s degree.
The Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the educational institutions within the Montana University System are available to develop needed training plans and the Montana Department of Commerce’s Business Resource Division administers two workforce training grant programs.
