Idaho Is Great Place For Small Biz

A new survey out today from Thumbtack.com, an online job service, and the Kauffman Foundation finds Idaho, Texas, Oklahoma and Utah are the friendliest states for small businesses. The survey asked more than 6,000 small business owners to rank states based on ease of starting a new businesses, cost of hiring, regulatory friendliness, tax code friendliness, and publicity of training programs.  Most of the business owners surveyed — 90 percent — had fewer than five employees. Thirty-seven small business owners in Idaho responded to the survey. Idaho scored an A+ in every category with the exception of hiring costs.  Small business owners gave the state a D in that category/ Emilie Ritter Saunders , StateImpact. More here.
