A recent study by WalletHub has named several cities in Utah as some of the top small cities in the United States to start a business. The analysis looked at over 1,300 small cities with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 people and compiled a list of the top 30 best cities to start a business.
The rankings were determined based on various factors such as small business growth rates, commute times, average business revenue, office space costs, working-age population growth, and cost of living. Cedar City was ranked number one in the country due to its short commute times, recent growth in small businesses, and job and working-age population growth.
St. George followed closely behind Cedar City at number two. St. George received high marks for its affordable office space costs compared to other expensive cities like Cupertino in California. In total, Utah had ten cities on the top 30 list for best small cities to start a business. Other notable cities include Washington City, Lehi, Eagle Mountain, Midvale, American Fork, Springville
