Starting a business in Maine

Maine plays a substantial part in the agricultural industry, with produce such as poultry, eggs, dairy products and cattle. The state is the largest supplier of blueberries in the world and produces 25% of North America’s supply.

Not only is Maine known for its agriculture but it is also becoming popular with tourists; the state is well-liked for sport hunting, particularly deer, moose and bear. Maine is also a good destination for sport fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, boating and camping.
