Ockelbo, Hofors, Ovanåker and Bollnäs are the four municipalities in the county where local entrepreneurs have become increasingly satisfied with the business climate.

To achieve better results, the most important thing is to have a good collaboration with the municipality, where the issue of entrepreneurship is recurring on the agenda.

- To improve the business climate, it is important that the municipalities have the strength to maintain a long-term plan and have patience, says Lotta Petterson, regional manager of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise in a press release,

Not everyone is equally happy

Gävle, Ljusdal, Sandviken and Söderhamn are the municipalities that remain at the same rating as in the previous survey.

The municipalities of Hudiksvall and Nordanstig are the only ones that have slipped down the scale and received a worse grade than before.

Above all, the entrepreneurs in these municipalities want to see a changed attitude towards local entrepreneurship.

- The dialogue and information must be better and that includes working with treatment, handling and service to the companies, says Lotta Petterson.
