I’m sharing this with you not to provide commentary on it, but to put it out there as valuable information when making the decision to buy or sell real estate in Idaho.

“Small businesses are Idaho’s job-creating dynamo,” said Dr. Chad Moutray, chief economist for the Office of Advocacy. “They are the key to the state’s ability to increase gross state product, personal income, and total employment. Clearly policymakers need to consider their impact on small business when they are making policy decisions.”

Updated data and statistics on the state’s small businesses are available here.
