“Named the Best State for Business for a record 19 years in a row, there is no better place to start and grow a small business than Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “Our economic success would not be possible without the many hardworking small business owners across the state who contribute so much to their communities. Through my Small Business Summits, we are providing the tools and resources needed for both current and aspiring entrepreneurs to succeed. Texas will continue to invest in small business owners across the state as we build a brighter economic future for all Texans.”
