Top Entrepreneurial Countries
While many people would consider the United States to be one of the best places to start a business, a recent BBC News survey shows that Indonesia takes the top spot.
The US, Canada, India and Australia are seen as among the next best countries at supporting new businesses.
At the other extreme, Colombia, Egypt, Turkey, Italy and Russia are among the least entrepreneur-friendly.
The results come from a survey of more than 24,000 people across 24 countries.
They were asked whether innovation was highly valued in their country; whether it was hard for people like them to start a business; whether people who do were highly valued; and whether people with good ideas could usually put them into practice.

Interesting, I’d like to some rate the best areas in the US for starting a business. It seems like some states are a lot more pro business than other, especially when it comes to taxes.
We’re trying to attract entrepreneurs to come to small rural town (Kittanning PA), but it’s a hard sell, even with such a low cost of living and a great community to support the business.

Yes, saying that the whole US is friendly to business is not entirely accurate. I’ve lived all over the country and seen both extremes. Vermont, for example, is not at all business friendly. Texas, Nevada and a few others are much more business friendly.

am seeking Investors to launch a center in Dubai to assist healthcare facilities there with Healthcare Revenue Management Cycle. this is related to Medical Claims Processing from Provider-Doctor to Payor-Insurance company…
Medical Billing and Coding, AR Management, Appeals Processing, and Auditing…
The healthcare facilities in the UAE and other surrounding countries are adapting to the USA workflow process for handling claims management. There is only one center handling this as the present and not very well, I might add.
I have several healthcare clients approaching me to locate a center to assist them..
I would like to launch a center to do this…I have access to staff and know all the in’s and out’s to launch this…
