The Best Cities for Small Business
(Infographic)
By
Amy Whyte
Inc.
It's
National Small Business Week
, and for the
first time, events will take place in multiple cities
across the country. With many metropolitan areas
rapidly becoming hotbeds for startups, it's a fitting
move for the event. But where are small
businesses thriving the most? A new study
from
Biz2Credit.com
examines how a number of
U.S. cities measure up.
The study, which defines a small business as a
company with fewer than 250 employees or less
than $10 million in annual revenue, analyzed
more than 12,000 businesses that have been in
operation for at least a year. The findings place
San Jose in the top spot, on the basis of a
weighted score that includes annual revenue,
credit scores, and the average age of the city's
small businesses. Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles,
and San Francisco round out the top five.
Check out the infographic below from
Merchant
Warehouse
to find out how your city compares in
terms of annual revenue and average credit score.
