If you are thinking of starting a small business, your location is one of the largest indicators of your success. The cities that make top-ten lists boast common features that are significantly related to advances in technology, as well as existing groups of small businesses that create an even more small business-friendly environment.
Other factors that may suggest a good location to start your business include start-up costs, availability of talent, and the ability to fund your business from the ground up.
