New Hampshire Market Overview

New Hampshire's lack of income and sales taxes, combined with proximity to Boston, has attracted businesses and high-income residents from Massachusetts. The state has a highly educated workforce and strong technology and advanced manufacturing sectors.

New Hampshire has no state income tax on earned income and no sales tax, but property taxes are the primary revenue source, resulting in some of the highest commercial property tax rates in the country. The state's Business Enterprise Tax and Business Profits Tax apply to commercial entities, but the overall tax structure still favors business relocation from neighboring states. The southern tier of the state along the I-93 and Route 3 corridors benefits from Massachusetts spillover demand, with significantly lower occupancy costs for commercial tenants just across the state line.
