Business in Central Florida

My name is Dora Marrero and I am a Realtor®.

The Metro Orlando Area is thriving with high tech industries, entertainment industries, manufacturing, and Real Estate Development. Central Florida was rated as one of the top 10 areas for start up companies. The careful administration of our government has resulted in one of the lowest corporate tax structures in the country (and no personal income tax). We have a well educated, diverse work force, a world class international airport, and more than 450 professional buildings and 60 business parks.

There are many various Christian Owned Businesses in Central Florida, many of them are featured here:

My other web site, MovingWithJesus.com, features Christian Bookstores in Central Florida and Christian Outreach pages which list several Christian owned businesses and services. Additionally, we would like to link to two very prominent establishments:

Appliance Direct

Famous for their entertaining and comprehensive informercials, the owners of Appliance Direct double-tithe to their church and have a compelling testimony. On a more practical note, their staff is very professional and friendly, and their prices are truly very low.

Chick-fil-a

Chick-fil-a Restaurants is a marvelous Christian owned business that we recommend. Their founder, Mr. S. Truett Cathy, has a strong sense of responsibilty towards the community and towards young people. Mr. Cathy is an innovative philanthropist and has taught Sunday School for almost fifty years. True to form, Chick-fil-a is closed on Sunday. In their restuarants you will hear only Christian music on their speakers. The staff is friendly and will bless you as you receive your meal. Various locations offer family activities on a regular basis, and they often give books away with kiddie meals. What is more, their food is superior to most fast food.

Honest Labor is Holy.
