American Express research ranks UK entrepreneurial hotspots
What happened
American Express commissioned research that analyzed 317 local authority areas in the UK. The study, which assessed new business creation and business resilience, found that Stratford-on-Avon was the top ranking area. Uttlesford was named the second-leading entrepreneurial hotspot, followed by Waverley in Surrey.
Why it matters
The analysis used two equally weighted measures: the rate of new business creation and business resilience. These metrics provide insight into the economic health and investment appeal of specific local areas.
