Texas ranks high for business start-ups

For the second year in a row, Texas is the best state to start a business, due in part to a thriving economy, positive startup culture and low taxes, according to a WalletHub study.

The steady growth of Hays County and the Austin metropolitan area has led to an increase in the technology sector as out of state companies are relocating to Texas. To experts, Texas is the place to be.

“This year, Texas was ranked as the best state to start a business, and it was the best state in 2018, as well,” said Wallethub Analyst Jill Gonzalez. “We made some changes to our methodology since last year, but Texas managed to stay on top.”
