10 Best Countries For Business 2015

Switzerland

Second on the list is Switzerland, largely because of its policies for open trade. Swiss banks are famously discreet and open to investment from places around the world. The country balances openness in trade with a risk-averse political culture, although it is starting to face international pressure from countries that suspect their wealthy corporations and citizens are using Swiss banks for unlawful tax evasion purposes. The country also boasts highly skilled manufacturing and services sectors.

Hong Kong

Favorable policies in finance and foreign investment have helped Honk Kong retain its reputation as a great place to do business. The study also shows that the country is tackling regulation reforms in the areas of cost and minimum capital required to set up startups.  Although Hong Kong’s globally reliant economy was hit by the 2008 economic slowdown, it recovered much quicker than expected due to closer economic integration with China. While real estate prices are high, the region also has no import tariffs on goods, excepting alcohol and petroleum.
