A local presence builds trust

Why your business needs a New York phone number

Welcome to Wall Street. New York is home to several unique industries, and because the stock exchange makes its home in the Big Apple, it makes sense one of the state’s biggest economic drivers is financial services. The industry isn’t just full of traders, either. Industries thriving here include consultants, software, analysts, and homeland/cybersecurity pros.

Fintech and Insuretech businesses find themselves in good company in the Empire State among players like Brex, PolicyGenius, and Zipari.

The world of Fintech can’t thrive without protecting sensitive accounts and assets, so it makes sense cybersecurity would blossom here, too. More generally, security is a growing industry in New York. The state recently approved the country’s first drone corridor between Rome and Syracuse to test 5G drone flights outside the sightline of operators. It’s made the state an attractive headquarters for tech startups from logistics to aerospace and defense.
