"To better understand the challenges small businesses face and to offer recommendations," Institute for Justice's Andrew Meleta and Alex Montgomery "analyzed the codes of 20 large to mid-sized cities, interviewed entrepreneurs from across the country, and mapped out the real-world process of starting five common business types from the entrepreneur's perspective." They then compiled their findings in IJ's "Barriers to Business" report, which is available here: https://ij.org/report/barriers-to-business/.

In this episode, Meleta and Montgomery join the Goldwater Institute's Jon Riches to discuss the major takeaways from their report and how cities can better attract and support entrepreneurs.

Featuring:
- Andrew Meleta, Activism Associate, Institute for Justice
- Alex Montgomery, City Policy Associate, Institute for Justice
- [Moderator] Jon Riches, Director of National Litigation, Goldwater Institute
