You Can Startup Any Time You Like, etc.
The following data from a recent World Bank report caught my eye. From a larger study, I compare the the rankings of the top ten countries for ease of starting companies with the ease of closing companies in the same places.
| Country | Starting | Closing |
| Australia | 1 | 14 |
| Canada | 2 | 4 |
| New Zealand | 3 | 16 |
| United States | 4 | 18 |
| Ireland | 5 | 6 |
| United Kingdom | 6 | 10 |
| Puerto Rico | 7 | 28 |
| Mauritius | 8 | 66 |
| Singapore | 9 | 2 |
| Georgia | 10 | 105 |
Apparently, in some countries (to adapt The Eagles) you can startup any time you like, but you can never leave.
