## Story

It’s long been a tradition for entrepreneurs in the U.S. looking to be their own boss to move to the West Coast to embrace the startup culture across the region. However, according to a recent article in Entrepreneur Magazine , young entrepreneurs looking to become their own boss might want to consider moving outside of the country.

The B2B product comparison site Expert Market recently conducted a study to determine the best countries for young, aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking for a more flexible lifestyle. They took a lot of factors into consideration when ranking the best countries for young entrepreneurs, including cost of living, income tax rates, access to credit, access to public transportation, the ease of starting a business, average internet speeds and access to free Wi-Fi. The study also took the cost of a cup of coffee into consideration.

Hong Kong earned the top spot on the list, followed by the U.S., South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Spain, New Zealand, Estonia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic then rounded out the top five.
