However, I think the first step is to research the area in which the business may already exists. Although one may understand that their business could possibly blossom in another place, there may be a greater opportunity in the current area under different circumstances. Not only does one have to look into regulations, but also different partnerships and funding that may be available that your business has not yet tapped into. Because of the cost effective issues that may come up with moving a business or starting a business in another place, it is in the best interest for the business owner to try everything in the location in which it already exists.

I preach this same message to people all the time. I always say that if I had to move to Alaska for business, I would. People lack the "work now, play later" attitude. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do to get ahead. Dezmon…This is a great blog. I preach this same message to people all the time.

Sedivy Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:50:21 +0000 http://www.startuphustle.com/?p=407#comment-22743 Hi Dezmon, Very relevant posting and something I had not seen addressed until now. I have found this personally in my life as I have moved to different places for different reasons - depending on the inspiration needed. This past year I had moved to Cape Cod for the very reasons you stated in your article - not necessarily for all the reasons, but mainly the inspiration. The main point is that my former locale was not cutting it and a change of scene gave me exactly what I needed. I actually documented this in a recent article on my blog (http://capecodbranding.com/blog/2009/01/28/how-to-beat-the-recession-part-i-move-to-cape-cod/). This was a three part series but I thought I would only include the first part for you or anyone else who may be interested as you can easily find the other two parts if interested. Again, great article and I completely agree with your assessment! Best, John R. Sedivy Hi Dezmon,

There are also some basic regulatory issues that can really put a damper on entrepreneurship such as: Number of Steps Required to Start a Business/No. of Days Required Low Marginal Tax Rates Legal Framework- Intellectual property protection, contract enforcement, ease of settlement of disputes. Most of these apply at the macro (national) level, rather than the state, but should all be factors in considering where to set up shop. Great read Dezmon.
