Business formation in Minnesota, 2026 YTD (Jan to Sep) vs 2025 YTD (same months): 63,322 new business applications, +12.7% against the same months a year earlier, which is slower than the national +15.3%. That is 108.6 applications per 10,000 residents, which ranks Minnesota 40 of 51 on that ratio.
A business application is an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS-4, so the count covers every entity type and is not a count of LLC formations. The per-capita figure divides that count by resident population and is ranked against the other 49 states and the District of Columbia; it is a ratio of two published totals, not a measure of how many residents started a business.
