The Pacific Northwest

Transcript

If you are thinking about relocation or maybe just an expansion from your current business into a new market, the Pacific Northwest is definitely one to consider.

99% of business in Washington alone are small, making it into one of the highest percentages in the U.S., the same small business orientation is seen in Oregon. The continuous growth in this area demonstrates the strength of the economy, which is projected to keep its growth for the rest of 2019 as well as 2020.

All the Pacific Northwest states are great for work-life balance, providing access to outdoor activities at the same time giving great business opportunities. The migration patterns are showing that younger workers are choosing this region, which is a direct benefit to small businesses seeking and finding the right employees with the right skills and experience for their businesses.

Andrew and Jessica bring four of their franchisees to this episode to talk about the amazing opportunities in the area for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
