If you follow the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce on Twitter, you may have noticed the tweet posted by the organization last week:
How to start a small business in #Tampa. And then a link to a page on the City of Tampa's website, claiming that, “starting a small business in Tampa is as easy as 1-2-3.”

• Obtain your City of Tampa Business Tax license and your Hillsborough County Occupational License.
• File for Sales Tax Collection with the State of Florida if your business qualifies.
