For businesses to locate in their states

And another question regarding this line, it's a bit strange to say "businesses" when it reffers to countries, I would like to understand in other words what it means "for businesses to locate in their states" also "to locate" is that clear. Thanks a lot.

These corporations wouldn’t be able to make political contributions without the approval of 75 percent of their directors and shareholders. And their legal right to exist could be revoked if they engaged in repeated and egregious lawbreaking.
Effective action to hold corporations accountable needs to be federal because the states, left to their own devices, have to compete with one another for businesses to locate in their states. This has led to a race to the bottom for corporate cash.
