Being in business used to mean being tied to a big city, where all the resources and customers you needed were right at your fingertips. But nowadays, thanks to a move toward a more service- and technology-based economy — and a slew of new computing and telecommunication innovations — entrepreneurial enterprises are no longer chained to the same handful of overcrowded metropolitan areas.Quite literally, the sky is fast becoming one of the only remaining limits on small-business locations. Spots that were previously written off as being too small, too remote, too rural, or too touristy are now attracting an increasing number of entrepreneurs. Smart cities and towns have found success by marketing their high quality of life, low costs, and growing stockpile of business resources.
