It seems Charlotte is always topping some sort of list. "The best
place for millennials." "The best place for business." Yes, our
weather is great. Yes, we have great barbecue and biscuits. But
we also have a business climate that makes it easy to start and
grow a successful company. In fact, in 2016 alone, hundreds of
new businesses popped up in Mecklenburg County.
Charlotte Chamber of Commerce Research Director Chuck
McShane explains, "Charlotte combines unsurpassed quality
of life with cost of living and cost of doing business below the
national average … and entrepreneurs can easily connect with
broad and niche markets." Here, we take a closer look at some of
Charlotte's most successful small business owners to see just how
these game changers made it all happen.
