St. George Utah: Best Small City to Start a Business

 

For the second year in a row, St. George was named by WalletHub as Best Small City for Starting a Business! Washington City, Utah came in third and Cedar City, Utah, sixth! I am not surprised because of the warm business climate!



On their web site:

WalletHub declares: "St. George, Utah, is the best small city for starting a business, ranking among the top cities in the country for both startups per capita and growth in the number of small businesses (nearly 42% between 2017 and 2023)."

 


"St. George also has very cheap office space, costing around $10.73 per square foot. In contrast, the most expensive city charges nearly $62 per square foot. St. George residents have short commutes, too, at around 17 minutes on average."

 

"In addition, the city has a very high annual job growth rate. All of these factors allow entrepreneurs to minimize costs while maximizing their chances of success."

Congratulations to Saint George UT for providing a nurturing business climate Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! Minot ND could take a lesson from them. Minot likes new business... so they can tax the crap out of them. 💩

It sure does, George Souto, now if home owners who have paid their homes off can stop being charged for property taxes! I'm all for that.

Thr boys used to call St. George 'busy town' when growing up and now it really has become that, Brian England!

So glad to live where I do.
