KH Direct Media Reviews the Best U.S. Cities for Small Business

Shreveport, LA


This week is National Small Business Week. It is a time to reflect on how the smaller, individually-owned businesses in our community help make it a more vibrant and fun place to shop and get things done. As such, KH Direct Media notes there are some U.S. cities which are better than others to open a small business.

One aspect of the American Dream is to own your own business. It can be very challenging to do that in some parts of the country such as on the West Coast and New Jersey. But in other parts of the country, it can be much easier to launch your own company. The five cities below are mostly in the South and are judged to be business-friendly places:

Shreveport, Louisiana
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Springfield, Missouri
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Jackson, Mississippi


KH Direct Media notes they were given high scores in office space affordability, cost of living, average workday length, workforce education level, entrepreneurial activity, and  a five-year survival rate. Small companies need a friendly, business-healthy environment in which to grow and succeed. Even if the preferred way to conduct business is virtually (online), small business owners and entrepreneurs need a positive atmosphere in which to manage the day to day operations.  For more information about the survey which lists the best and worst U.S. cities for small businesses, visit WalletHub.com.
