Best Places to Start a Business in Northern California
by
Jonathan Todd
| posted in
Small Business
Published on August 3, 2015
The economy of Northern California, home of Silicon Valley, is steeped in innovation and entrepreneurship. Technology companies including Hewlett-Packard, Apple and Intel had their humble beginnings in this region. The San Jose and San Francisco metropolitan areas ranked third and sixth, respectively, on the
2015 Kauffman index of startup activity
, which measures the rate at which new entrepreneurs and new businesses are popping up.
To pinpoint exactly where entrepreneurs thrive in this part of the state, NerdWallet analyzed 177 places with populations of 10,000 or more
. Healdsburg is #15
out of 177 small towns.
Key takeaways
Large and small businesses perform well.
Northern California is home to Fortune 500 companies including Oracle, Google and Facebook, but small companies have a place here, too. The state has a network of
Small Business Development Centers
located throughout Northern California that offer free one-on-one counseling for small-business owners.
The Bay Area is key.
Northern California's economic epicenter is the San Francisco Bay Area. Eight of the top 10 cities on our list are in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
Tourism matters, too.
Technology drives Northern California's economy, but tourism is important, especially for Monterey. All of the cities on our list are within a few hours' drive of major destinations including California's dramatic northern coastline, Yosemite National Park and San Francisco.
We analyzed 177 places in Northern California with populations of at least 10,000 and considered six metrics in two categories - business environment and the local economy - to assess each location.
