Guess what state is the worst to start a new business in??

[Edward K]

The “Small Business Survival Index” released this month by the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council. The index ranks all 50 states based on public policy factors, including 36 major government-imposed or government-related costs like taxes, regulatory costs, government spending, property rights, health care and energy costs.

"Policy matters. Most politicians talk a good game when it comes to small business, but
their actions don’t often match their rhetoric," said SBE Council chief economist Raymond J. Keating in a release. "These measures should matter to everyone because small businesses, of course, drive innovation, economic growth and job creation."
