Another state that made a powerful economic breakthrough was Singapore. To date, it is one of the busiest and rapidly growing world economic centers providing attractive conditions for many entrepreneurs.In the middle of the 20th century it was a quiet port city.

7th place Denmark
Geographically, the convenient location of Denmark contributes to the expansion of its economic activities in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.

Agricultural activities are also popular.Most foreigners start their business by opening hairdressers, cafes, laundries, insurance companies, tourist offices, freight forwarders, and other service-oriented businesses.
6th place Hong Kong
Hong Kong is in the top ten of this rating thanks to its developed infrastructure, progressive corporate legislation, and a reliable banking system.
The location in the very center of the dynamically developing and promising Asian-Pacific region allows Hong Kong which is a large-scale consumer market to cover half the world's population.
The absence of VAT and customs duties and excises, the modest rate of taxes on profits, income and real estate, and the absence of outsource income taxes give Hong Kong the full right to be considered a real «tax haven».
5th place Canada

It is much cheaper to register a business in Canada than in a number of other countries and the size of the profit tax is one of the lowest in the world. With such conditions the government tries to attract economically active people who can contribute to the development and prosperity of the country.
4th place Sweden
Today Sweden is considered one of the most promising countries in terms of business. The most incredible startups in history are realized here.
One of the most popular businesses here is the development of mobile versions for new portable devices. Besides there are such developing areas as projects related to architecture, design, and applied arts.
However, with all the existing advantages, it is more difficult for foreigners to open a business in Sweden due to the fact that this requires mandatory registration. Moreover the choice of ownership forms is limited to LLC (Privat Aktiebolag) and OJSC (Publikt Aktiebolag). Together with very high taxation, successful business in Sweden is possible only with a lucky coincidence.
3rd place Netherlands

But later the New Zealanders privatized dozens of industries previously controlled by the government, such as air travel, insurance, banking services, and telecommunications. New Zealand is ranked second in this list for the third consecutive year. New Zealand leads the overall list of criteria such as lack of bureaucracy, low levels of corruption, and property rights.Half a century ago it was a country with an agrarian economy.
1st place United Kingdom

For the first time in twelve years, the United Kingdom took the first place in the annual ranking of the best countries for doing business according to the Forbes version.
From the point of view of technological development, as well as in terms of the number and level of education and qualification of the workforce, the country is in the top five.The Great Britain received high marks in almost all parameters except for «political risk».
