SmartAsset, a New York-based financial technology company, has ranked Loudoun as the top county for business growth in Virginia for the third year in a row.
According to the annual study, Loudoun County’s number of businesses has risen by 13.9 percent in the last two years. This mirrors the 13.9 percent growth from the 2017 study, along with 15.8 percent growth that was reported in the 2016 study.
Virginia is a very pro-business state, ranking fourth on Forbes’ 2018 list of Best States for Business, up one spot from 2017 and up two spots from 2016.
Even as Virginia continues to improve in the factors of business cost, labor supply, regulations, economic climate, growth prospects and quality of life, Loudoun County remains a leader.
