Imagine having a business plan, the secured funding to start your own business and the option to choose anywhere in the country to set up shop. Where would you go?
That's the question we set out to answer in the first-ever CNBC Metro 20: America's Best Places to Start a Business. Using private and government data, we looked at the 20 key criteria business owners should evaluate before choosing a business location, including tax and regulatory climate, workforce strength, access to capital and the cost of living.

The Top 20

Here is the ranking of this year's top performers:
  1. Austin, Texas
  2. Provo, Utah
  3. Washington, D.C.
  4. Denver
  5. Charlotte, North Carolina
  6. Houston
  7. Ogden, Utah
  8. Dallas
  9. Des Moines, Iowa
  10. San Antonio
  11. Richmond, Virginia
  12. McAllen, Texas
  13. Colorado Springs, Colorado
  14. Raleigh, North Carolina
  15. Sarasota, Florida
  16. El Paso, Texas
  17. Atlanta
  18. Salt Lake City
  19. Las Vegas
  20. Seattle
