Some of the other industry sectors responsible for the growing economy include automobiles, information technology, food products, aerospace, furniture, military equipment, and mining of copper as well as iron ore.
Why Choose Michigan for Incorporation?
Michigan is home to a variety of industries, which are not only growing at a rapid stage but also enabling a positive economy in the state. The manufacturing industry is at the top of the list and its real value to the Michigan GDP is $86.91 billion. The second largest industries with $74.84 billion in real value to the Michigan GDP include finance, insurance, real estate, rental, and leasing. In the last decade or so, the number of small and medium sized businesses that have undergone incorporation in Michigan has also increased.
