In Bankrate's latest Small Business Study, Washington earned the title of the #1 state for small businesses. It ranked highest thanks to a strong business environment, skilled workforce, and abundant funding opportunities. The study analyzed 18 key factors across areas like small business activity, labor quality, business costs, access to capital, infrastructure, and policies. While no state ticks all the boxes, those that performed well across many of these categories landed higher on the list.
