Its content is geared specifically for Southwest Florida’s business leaders. With comprehensive, authoritative coverage of Polk, Pasco, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties, the Business Observer is the only weekly business newspaper that provides business leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs and investors with a regional perspective. The Business Observer is also the leading publisher of public notices on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
