You say "the" like it's uniquely business friendly. If so, what makes it more business friendly than any other state? Even if that isn't what you meant, could you expand a bit on what makes it "business friendly"?

No income tax on business or personal income. You can become the state’s resident after spending just one night in a hotel and opening a bank account. That’s partially why it’s highly favored by RVers who choose to longer have a permanent home. There’s opportunity to modify the state’s politics. ;) I am likely going to set my HQ in that state.

Don't do that. Don't move to an area and taint the books with laws that ruined the place you came from.

I agree. Be humble. Try to understand the existing laws and customs before you come in and try to make changes.
