Whether a solopreneur or a small business operation, launching a stable and profitable cleaning business can be difficult enough. With the various hurdles and roadblocks that a new entrepreneur can face, it can be daunting. But some cities and states are clearly going out of their way to make the process a little easier. According to a recent study published by wallethub.com the state of Utah can proudly boast that it has 5 of the top 10 best small cities in the US to start a business.
While this might surprise some, the business-friendly state of Utah has various economic policies in place that are intended to help entrepreneurs not only start small businesses, but build companies that succeed.
