So, when you have the opportunity to start a business in whichever country in the world, which one would you choose? Are the United States the right place to start a business in 2020? Well, as it turns out, not really. 

But while many of the countries that you’d want to start a business in are also some of the best countries to live in, we think you’d still be surprised by some on the list. 

Now, without spending any more time on ramblings let us get started with country number one on the list. Namely, Thailand. 

Thailand has ranked the world’s best country to start a business according to more than 6,000 decision-makers. 

When the study to determine which was the best country to start a business in 2020 started, there were five different factors that were taken into consideration — bureaucracy, affordability of starting a business, the cost of manufacturing, access to capital that would allow you to start a business, and how well a country is connected to the rest of the world. 

Well,  couple these five factors with the fact that Thailand is a thriving tourist destination, with a very well-developed agricultural sector and manufacturing and you start to see why it’s no wonder that the country took the first place in the study. 

Maybe the only drawback is the fact that the country has very low unemployment rates, meaning that finding the right people for the job can sometimes be harder than expected. 

Singapore is quickly becoming one of the go-to choices for savvy entrepreneurs from around the world. 

With a gross domestic product of more than $300 Billion in 2017, the country of Singapore is obviously thriving. But numbers are only half the story. Every successful business is as successful only as its employees are successful.

Of course, the very transparent legal system and almost nonexistent corporate taxes make Switzerland tax heaven at the heart of one of the world’s most developed continents. 

Not only that, but Switzerland also has an exceptionally well developed transport infrastructure, making traveling across the country a breeze. 

Canada has improved significantly when it comes to the manufacturing and mining sector. 

Coming to the first American country on the list and it shouldn’t be a surprise that we went with Canada. 

The country has been exceeding its development of the manufacturing and mining sectors. What makes this even better is the fact that Canada and the United States have a dual-sided trading policy, which opens a huge market for Canadian businesses.
