In a further sign that he was planning to run, Mr Bush this week donated $10,000 [6,400] to help pay off the mortgages of two New York police officers who were shot before Christmas in an unprovoked revenge attack for the deaths of several black people at the hands of white officers.
The move to support the officers which attracted headlines was seen as a deliberate attempt to draw a contrast with Bill de Blasio, New Yorks ultraliberal Democrat mayor, who made a series of speeches last year accusing police of institutional racism, to the fury of police unions.
Mr Bush had already given up posts with Rayonier Inc, a timber firm, an advisory role with Barclays Bank and active interests in Britton Hill Partnership, part of a complex web of private equity and investment businesses.
He has also stepped down from a $300,000-a-year (192,000) position on the board of Tenet Healthcare, a company that has profited handsomely from the implementation of the ObamaCare health reforms, which are reviled by conservatives.
Critics of Mr Bush, including some on the Right-wing of the Republican party, have accused him of double standards by profiting personally from a policy that he has publicly opposed.
However problematic any of his business interests could potentially be, it is Mr Bushs relatively liberal stance on key issues such as immigration reform, gay marriage and common core national education standards that may make it harder to win the Republican nomination.
Conservative grassroots, who vote in disproportionate numbers in the Republican primary elections, will fight hard to ensure that Mr Bush, who is perceived as an establishment candidate, does not win their partys nomination.
Mr Bush, who speaks Spanish and has a Mexican wife, says he will not tack to the Right in order to win, as Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate in 2012, did with mixed results.
I dont think conservatives in this environment can win by being less liberal, he said at an event in Tennessee last month.

The Post, citing a statement emailed to the paper by one of Bush's aides late on New Year's Eve, said he even stepped down from the board of his education foundation.
The statement added that he was still evaluating next steps for businesses for which he serves as an owner or principal partner, including consulting firm Jeb Bush & Associates, the Post reported.
Reuters could not independently verify the report. Representatives for Bush were not immediately available.
The news comes just days after Bush, the son of former US President George H.W. Bush and the brother of former President George W. Bush, announced he was stepping down from the board of real estate investment trust Rayonier Inc.
Bush said there were no disagreements between Rayonier and him.
Bush, 61, said on Dec. 16 that he was actively exploring a run for the US presidency in 2016 and would establish a political action committee in January that would allow him to engage with supporters and potential donors and determine whether sufficient support exists for a run.
Bush served as Florida's governor between 1999 and 2007.

Jeb Bush clears decks for possible White House run

(Laxman Dhoble, who was a)
MUMBAI: In what could raise the hackles of the Congress and NCP leaders, the Maharashtra government has cleared the decks for an ACB probe against yet another former Minister from the Congress-NCP government. On Wednesday the Maharashtra Home department headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis forwarded the file for an 'open inquiry' against Former Maharashtra Water Supply and Sanitation Minister Laxman Dhoble in a disproportionate assests case to the Chief Secretary Swadhin Kshatriya.
Dhoble who was a NCP minister and was an MLA from Mohol constituency in Solapur is being accused of having assets worth hundreds of crores. Interestingly many of the complaints against Dhoble to the ACB have been made by local NCP activists themselves from Solapur it self.
The ACB had been waiting for the government go ahead to probe him since last year. In April- 2014 the ACB also put up Dhoble and other Minister's name on its website against it wanted to proceed but was waiting for government sanction. The names were however later removed from the ACB website.
The former Minister was in the news last year after a 42 year old former staffer from one of the educational institutions that he was running filed a case of rape against him.
With the Home department clearing the decks for an inquiry against Dhoble, the latter becomes the fifth former Minister from the Congress-NCP government to face an ACB probe.
Immediately after the Sena joined the government, Fadnavis had cleared the probe against former Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar amd former Irrigation Minister for their role in the irrigation scam. The Chief Minister has also given the sanction to the ACB to probe former PWD Minister Chaggan Bhujbal in the Maharashtra Sadan scam and on Tuesday the Home department also cleared the decks for the ACB to probe former Congress Co-operation Minister Harshvardhan Patil in a co-operative bank scam.
Corruption among the Congress-NCP leaders was one of the main planks on which the BJP came to power and Fadnavis had vowed before the elections that they would initiate action against those Ministers and officials who were involved in graft.
