New Hampshire occupies a unique place in the American imagination, thanks to the state’s New England character and forthright commitment to freedom as an ideal, a philosophy expressed clearly by the state motto “Live free or die”. New Hampshire is also unique in other ways: the state levies no sales or state-level personal income tax, and boasts several of the biggest and most-popular mountains for skiing on the Atlantic coast of the United States. New Hampshire is also home to hundreds of innovative businesses, many of which are growing rapidly. Below, we will review some of the state grant programs, economic development initiatives, and business support resources that are available for businesses based in New Hampshire.
