Happy New Year from Florida Business Exchange!  May your 2013 be prosperous.

Now that 2012 has finished up, let's take a look in the rear view mirror.  What an interesting year it was.  My 2012 was highlighted by sales of a Lee County Restaurant/Bar and Tampa-based Stone Distribution company for a combined $2M in the first quarter and I ended the year with nearly $3M in total sales.
