Thumbtack.com surveyed 6,022 small businesses (here is the methodolgy of the survey) for their views of the business friendliness of the states and cities in which they operate.The result is an interesting set of rankings and ratings.
Here are two other interesting (but not altogether surprising) findings:
- Texas had three of the top five cities (Dallas, San Antonio and Austin), while California was home to the bottom three (Los Angeles, San Diego and Sacramento).
- Small businesses said licensing requirements were nearly twice as important as tax rates in determining overall business-friendliness.
