Texas Ranks First in Starting a Business, and the Alamo EDC Wants for Your Company to Succeed!

It goes without saying that launching a new business can be difficult. Unfortunately, if you start yours in the wrong area without doing extensive research on the local economy, you’ll be in for a rude awakening if your company begins failing.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of new businesses fail after their first year of operation and almost half don’t reach their fifth year. Thanks to a recent study, it was discovered that Texas ranks number one in starting a successful business. For local entrepreneurs in Alamo and even nearby cities like McAllen, this is terrific news!

An Ideal State

In a recent study conducted by WalletHub, the best state to start a business is in Texas. Based on the data, Texas has the friendliest business laws, regulations, and taxes since there are no individual income and corporate taxes. The following indicators were part of 20 other benchmarks used in the data. The number beside each indicator is Texas’ ranking:

  • Business environment – 1st
  • Access to resources – 11th
  • Growth in the number of small businesses – 4th
  • Highest total spending on incentives as a percentage of gross domestic product – 5th
  • Longest average work week – 4th
