Rounding out Thumbtack's top 10 list is San Antonio, which earned an "A+" in business friendliness and networking opportunities.
"San Antonio is a growing community with lots of opportunities," said a respondent who owns a computer repair business. "I live within the metropolitan area, so the chance to grow is very big."
But some entrepreneurs said the city needs to do a better job making resources and support available. "I think the assistance is there, but I don't know where to begin," said one respondent.

Methodology: Thumbtack polled its users in December 2014; 18,000 small businesses in its database of 150,000 active monthly users responded. Entrepreneurs from all 50 states replied, but the ranking excluded 14 states that didn't meet the threshold of receiving at least 50 responses.
