Tulsa And Oklahoma City Ranked Best For Young Entrepreneurs

Two Oklahoma cities rank at the top of the list as the best cities for young entrepreneurs looking to start a business.

Tulsa ranked first and Oklahoma City came in fifth in a list of 42 cities across the United States.

The list was compiled by NerdWallet.com and it looked at the cost of living, business activity, education and income in each city.

NerdWallet says young entrepreneurs often have little money and business experience, so getting off the ground cheaply is important.

The web site says Tulsa earned the top spot due to the availability of loans, low cost of living and low unemployment.

Oklahoma City also has a low cost of living and a history of generous lending according to NerdWallet.

Other top cities on the list include Tampa, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Raleigh, North Carolina and Austin, Texas.
