If you’re going to ask anyone which country is the best for doing business, the World Bank is who you want to ask. Fortunately, they’ve been hard at work with a project, dubbed Doing Business, that thoroughly analyzes what makes a country great at supporting entrepreneurs. And they nailed it. Measuring everything from how easy it is to get electricity to the difficulty of paying taxes, Doing Business exhaustingly studied 190 different world economies to establish where it was best to launch a business. Additionally, the report details how reforms can be made to policy in each country, providing a complex tapestry of information on the global entrepreneurial ecosystem. And admittedly, the advice is pretty good. If you’re interested in learning about which countries made the list, take a look at the full report here or check out the breakdown scores of each of the top ten countries below, including the overall score in each section and the “distance to frontier” score based out of 100 for 2017 and 2018:
