The county has a talented workforce and a buzzing economy, which makes it even more appealing. But guess what? The West Midlands took the top spot with a whopping 13,785 new businesses. They really know how to attract start-ups!
Hertfordshire came in second, thanks to its close proximity to London, just 16 miles away. It’s a hotspot for new businesses too, with over 230 high-growth companies.
