Even in the most terrible economic situation since the Carter administration, Forbes magazine often likes to reveal whatever positive sides it can, much like I do. In an article written from skillfully executed research campaigns and quotes from triumphant entrepreneurs, they found the most rewarding and financially prosperous places in the United States to set up residence. They based these findings on four factors: cultural services, business friendly environments, knowledgeable and productive workforces and generous salaries.

Joshua Onysko, an entrepreneur and owner of Pangaea Organics, opened his skin care business when he moved to Boulder, Colorado, which he did, aside for the personal benefits, due to the business benefits. The business benefits include a strong venture capital environment, similar start-up businesses all throughout the area, and gifted workforce candidates from near University of Colorado. While other businesses are contracting, Onyskos endeavors are growing. He has reported a 225% increase since 2005 which is still rising.

Factors that can put an area on this list of profitable areas can ...
... include pending and active patents, venture capital funding, self employment businesses, start-ups and small businesses with a high rate per capita. This basically covers anything that displays quality business activity, indicating success, success and a desire to live in relative prosperity. This places Boulder, Colorado, at number one on the list.

The simple Miami area, especially Doral and Kendall, Florida, suburbs about 15 miles out, one north, one south, offer a immense environment for more active businesses like golf courses and beaches. They also have one of the main amounts of small businesses in the country per capita, clinching the number two spot and number 25 spot in this list. Next a close third is Fairfax, Virginia, exhibiting one of the best public school systems in the country, a median salary that barely misses a six figure total, a large amount of lesser corporations, and a major highway that leads right to McLean, Virginia, right outside of Washington D.C. McLean is one of the corporate capitals of the nation due to the presence of Capital One, Bearingpoint, Booz Allen Hamilton, Cardinal Bank, Freddie Mac, Gannett, Mars, MicroStrategy, NVR, Sunrise Senior Living, and USA Today.

Mountain View, Calfornia comes in fourth due to its proximity to San Jose and San Francisco combined with the amount of start up businesses and venture capital. Close by Cupertino, just east of San Francisco, comes in a close fifth due to much of the same criteria. Coral Gables, Florida (9), Evanston, Illinois (18) and Newton, Massachusetts (6) tend to produce patents, start-ups, and venture capital due to their proximity in relation to chief research universities. Santa Fe, New Mexico, though only number 24 on the full list of 25, is irreplaceable to the list due to the entertainment venues it provides, with related sole-proprietors and expert workers. Columbia, Maryland, on the other side of Washington D.C. from Fairfax and 20 minutes from corporate Baltimore, came in at number seven. (Close Rockville, North Potomac, Germantown, Silver Spring and Potomac placed 8, 13, 17, 20 and 23, respectively.) As a native of that area of Maryland, this author is conscious of the advantages in Columbia and, as an entrepreneur, takes advantage of them. There a lot of minor to middle sized businesses in Columbia, Meriweather Post Pavilion, a chief music and entertainment venue, and plenty of venture capital.

As is made obvious, contrary to the current economic state, there is still a vivid side to business and personal finance, especially if you live in California, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, or the mid-atlantic region (Maryland and Virginia) of the country. The bottom line of these findings are painless to decipher. Any business can still do well, even if a extreme measure like locational placement change must occur, and with sturdy business centers in just about every portion of the country, the economy still has a tough core.
