    The Best 5 States To Start And Grow A Business

    In 2021 the U.S had 5.4 million new business applicants according to commerceinstitute.com. There’s a reason this country is known as the land of opportunities. Yet these opportunities can vary depending on the state you want to start and grow your business. 

    If you’re an entrepreneur or a small business owner, here are the five best states to start and grow a business.

    What to look for when deciding which state to start your business

    Before we jump to the list, here are some things to consider when looking at different states. 

    Business regulations

    It’s important to look into the licensing, zoning laws, and other restrictions on creating a business.

    Taxes

    Make sure you consider the corporate, individual, sales, and property taxes of the state.

    Cost of living

    Besides, start-up costs in your business,  understand how much you’ll need to make to support your living in that state.

    Growth potential

    This comes down to population and workforce. You’ll want to see if the population has been growing or declining in recent years. In addition, you want to look at the demographics to see if the population matches your targeted clients. 

    Besides population, consider your competition. Having a few competitors can be a good sign that there’s a demand for your service. 

    Lastly, look into the workforce, or the number of workers working in different industries. 

    Climate

    Be mindful of the frequency and likelihood of natural disaster occurrence. In addition, the impact different industries have on the environment.

    The five best states to start and grow a business
