The convergence of a number of economic conditions and consumer trends has hatched a business environment in the U.S. that embraces small business, and we are on the verge of revitalized small business communities across the country. To determine which U.S. cities are the most amenable to the wave of small business owners that will establish local roots in the upcoming year, we have developed a unique set of criteria based on data available within Radius.
The Radius database analyzes billions of data points about businesses in the U.S. each day, and from those data we can deduce unique insights about the communities that are most advantageous to small business owners. Based on our analysis of over 27 million U.S. businesses, we believe the next generation of small business owners will flock to cities not because of growing job rates and income levels, but because of community engagement and access to resources.
