A majority of Americans dream of being their own boss<\/a>, but building a small business from the ground up is anything but easy. That\u2019s why WalletHub<\/a> set out to find the best small U.S. cities to start a company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe benefits of starting a business in a small city include lower overhead costs, stronger relationships with customers and the potential to become a big fish in a little pond,\u201d said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. <\/p>\n

Still, not every small city will set you up for success. \u201cEntrepreneurs who want to build a large professional network aren\u2019t likely to make as many connections in a town with fewer residents,\u201d Lupo said. \u201cOther restrictions might include limited industry options, a less diverse customer base, and difficulty attracting and keeping top talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

To create its list, WalletHub looked at the business-friendliness of more than 1,300 small-sized cities, analyzing them by their costs, business environment, and access to resources. It considered factors like startups per capita, average growth in business revenue, financing accessibility, working-age population growth, and labor costs.<\/p>\n
