STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.
The Big Apple might be known as the greatest city in the world, but it’s not the best place to launch your own business, according to a new study.
Faced with high rents, taxes and cost of living, New York business owners need good backing and a successful business model to stay afloat.
With Sunday kicking off National Small Business Week and half of Americans working for small businesses, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2019’s Best Large Cities to Start a Business.
New York City ranked 66th on the list.
“Overall New York ranked 66th, which is in the bottom half,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst.
“The city is not among the best places to start a business mostly because of smaller business revenues, and large industry variety.
