Miami

Miami has vaulted to the No. 1 spot for starting a small business in the U.S., according to Biz2Credit’s annual rankings of the Top 25 Cities for Small Business Growth.

 

More than 82,000 small businesses employ 53% of the Miami-Dade County’s workforce, revealed a study commissioned by the Florida Small Business Development Center. It also has a high percentage of microbusinesses, according to the FIU Metropolitan Center.

 

The health of small companies in Miami, the rate of small business creation and the economic ecosystems for entrepreneurs, including the cost of doing business, tax climate, and local talent pool has positioned this market as No. 1.
