A recent study from SmartAsset reveals the places in each state with the strongest small business presence. The study uses IRS data to calculate how much small business income is generated in each county (relative to countywide income), as well as how many small businesses are operating in each county. Places which scored the best in these metrics were the places which ranked highest in the study.
