Entrepreneurs Find Niche Even in Rural Economies

Mark G. Popovich and Terry F. Buss

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1989, vol. 05, issue 3

Abstract: New businesses begun in North Dakota since 1980 employ nearly a fourth of the State's workforce. That ratio is about the same in urban and rural areas alike, even in areas highly dependent on farming. The new businesses seem to be durable, with a survival rate of nearly two-thirds through 1987. About half of the new business ventures turned to their local banks for startup financing, but few looked to government programs for help.
