Boise in the Top Ten AGAIN!

The latest accolade comes in the form of the #1 placement for Small Business Friendly States as reported by CNN. Other states include Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah all of which scored an “A+” rating according to the survey done by Thumbtack.com and the Kauffman Foundation.

Rankings overall were determined by how firms rated their states support of their small businesses, how easy it was to get started, and whether existing small businesses would encourage others to start their own companies.

Idaho also did well in other sub-polls, gaining a A+ rating from small businesses for the friendliness of it’s tax codes and regulations (sadly it did get a big D for new employee hiring costs).

The least friendly state to small business overall was Rhode Island, according to the survey. Vermont, Hawaii and California also scored an “F,” while New York earned a “D.”

One more reason to keep an eye on Idaho! A great place to live, work, AND play!
