Starting a business can feel paradoxical – especially at first.

The lowest barrier to entry – in terms of the necessity of formal credentials or expertise – is also the healthcare product industry, as this includes things like sports nutrition and supplementation, which is an industry-low in regulations.

1. United States
2. United Kingdom
3. Australia
4. France
5. Chile
6. Italy
7. Spain
8. Turkey
9. Mexico
10. Germany

The highest business survival rate on this list is in the United Kingdom (89.18%). However, the United States tips the scale as the best country to start a business in.  

The United States and United Kingdom take spots one and two respectively. Both countries have over 650,000 registered businesses (the USA has 733,825 and the UK 664,974). However, they differ massively on how much they spend on research and development. The USA spends just under half a billion on elevating businesses across their country, whereas the UK spends a considerably lower amount of £38,315 million. 

In the U.S., that is, business owners are the most likely to find support for their business through government spending and research programs.  

Best cities in the U.S. for starting a business in 2022.  

Considering that the best country to start a business in is the United States, it is also worth considering which cities in the United States are best suited for starting a new business in 2022.

According to a recent WalletHub survey the best cities –based on business costs, business environment, and access to necessary resources – to start a business in this year includes:  

1. Laredo, Texas 
2. Durham, North Carolina 
3. Lubbock, Texas 
4. Orlando, Florida 
5. Boise, Idaho 
6. Charlotte, North Carolina 
7. Raleigh, North Carolina  
8. Austin, Texas 
9. Fort Worth, Texas 
10. Tampa, Florida  

For some Americans, this may come as a surprise, as often cited business epicenters include huge cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.  

While the business environment in these larger cities and access to resources have high ratings, business costs are some of the highest in the nation. A fair amount of people in New York don’t make enough to afford rent, let alone enough for starting a new business.  

Conclusion: 

With the above-mentioned data in mind, a lucrative idea for starting a business in 2022 might be to start a healthcare product company in Laredo, Texas.

However, any combination of city, country, and industry from those mentioned above are all worthy factors that can contribute to optimizing your business plans for 2022.  

Knowing what industry your business will consist in, and where your location will be located are vital components to the success of your business. These are extremely time-dependent factors and are therefore worth considering when planning a startup.
