Results from a recent executive survey ranked Massachusetts 47th for business.
A CEO magazine ranks Massachusetts as one of the worst states in the nation for business. Chief Executive Magazine ranked Massachusetts 47th based on a survey of corporate leaders. Survey respondents reported the Bay State is one of the worst for taxation and regulation. The state Republican Party is pointing to the survey and saying that Gov. Deval Patrick and the Democratic-led Legislature are bad for the economy and business. What do you think about Massachusetts’ business climate? Is this a good state in which to do business? Let us know in the comments section.

Homemade beauty products across Cape Cod.
Michelle Angelides followed a circuitous path to owning a own business. Morning Bird Botanicals—which can be found at the Green Harvest Farmers Market, and a number of other fairs in the Cape area, as well as online—was the culmination of steadily accumulated knowledge and experience, passion for a new hobby, and the support of family and friends. After leaving her career in marketing at a hospital in Connecticut to raise what would become “a large batch of sons,” Angelides kept herself busy by running the family's horse-breeding operation, keeping bees, making sugar and maple syrup, and tending chickens. But when, after 15 years, her marriage dissolved, Angelides was suddenly uncertain about her next step. “Marketing had drastically …

Two longtime friends formed a company that fulfills their entrepreneurial spirit, expresses the uniqueness of living on Cape Cod and creates original "Cape wear for babies and kids."
When Diane O'Dowd and Ellen McPartlan met while working at the Chatham Squire they quickly discovered that they had similar entrepreneurial spirits. Having both worked in the restaurant industry for other entrepreneurs--O’Dowd in Boston and Ocean City, New Jersey and McPartlan in New York City and California--they decided to start their own venture in 2010 with the Cape Cod Baby Company. “Our lives were quickly changing and we were interested in starting something new,” McPartlan said, and the “inspiration came from our own growing families and the sheer beauty of life on Cape Cod.” So, they decided to create a line of clothing for babies (and soon after toddlers and kids) that reflected good quality, was affordable for families on a …

Shawn Vecchione turned his passion for surfing into a business creating surfboards, used by people all over the world.
It might come as a surprise to hear there is a surfboard company on Cape Cod, but Vec Surfboards founder, Shawn Vecchione, has been surfing the waves of Cape Cod since he was a kid. The surf community “used to be really localized,” he says, but now people from off-Cape know “we get a pretty good amount of waves, and in the winter we get world class types of waves.” Vecchione was born on Cape Cod, but spent some of his childhood in his mother’s native Hawaii. He says he “dabbled in surfing” in Hawaii, but the first time he really took to the waves was at Coast Guard beach. After graduating from Barnstable High School, Vecchione tried his luck as a professional snowboarder in Waterville. An injury sent him back to Hawaii where he spent three…
