New Study Reveals Best States For Starting A Business

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA – A new study from Seek Capital reveals the Best States to Start a Business, ranking all 50 states based on a detailed research methodology that considered 21 factors.

The best states for business generally have a combo of increasing working-age population, booming economies, high levels of startup activity and a favorable business tax climate,” said Andrew DePietro, writer and lead researcher at Seek Capital, who conducted the study. “The best states didn’t need to hit all these areas — for instance, California’s business tax climate is rough — but they were better-than-average across a majority of factors. The worst states tended to suffer from declining populations, middling GDP growth, muted startup activity and unfavorable taxes.”

According to the study, the 10 best states for starting a business are:

  1. Utah
  2. Florida
  3. Texas
  4. Colorado
  5. California
  6. North Carolina
  7. Idaho
  8. Oklahoma
  9. Georgia
  10. Wyoming

On the other end of the spectrum, the 10 worst states for starting a business are:

  1. Rhode Island
  2. Connecticut
  3. New Jersey
  4. Maine
  5. Alabama
  6. Maryland
  7. New Hampshire
  8. Arkansas
  9. Louisiana
  10. Pennsylvania

Seek Capital analyzed 21 factors in the study including: five-year growth of working-age population, labor force participation rate, unemployment rate, business tax rates, venture capital deal flow, cost of living, labor costs per hour, one-year and five-year survival rates and more. The study utilized data from sources such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Kauffman Indicators of Entrepreneurship, the Tax Foundation and more.
