Answer preview
If I were to start a business, I would choose Texas as its location. Texas has low taxes and a friendly regulatory structure, making it flexible and attractive for many startups and large companies (Ginn, 2018). In addition to the low taxes, Texas has an excellent transportation system that simplifies business owners within and out of state. It also has a readily available skilled workforce with low unemployment rates. Businesses do not have to undergo the cost of outsourcing labor from other states. Texas has a stable business climate which has earned them recognition as one of the most entrepreneurial states in the country for a decade.
