Every woman business owner in Utah and even those who are thinking of starting a business, you need to read this study! Amazingly, Utah has five cities in the top ten. Peter Horan at All Business talks about why:
“Our study was unique because, we let our audience decide what criteria are most important in terms of geographic location. The results are fascinating. The typical hot economy metros that make these types of lists are absent and four of the five metropolitan areas in Utah are in the overall top ten,” said AllBusiness.com CEO Peter Horan. “We found that women entrepreneurs say they are looking for a balance of factors that show a strong geographic tendency to be found in the Rocky Mountain States, with 13 of the 30 metros ranked by size being located there. Additionally, college towns like Iowa City, IA, Boulder, CO, and Logan, UT dominate the list of small and medium metros, which shows the strong connection between academic research and business development in a knowledge-driven economy.”
