Recognizing Wilmington's entrepreneurial spirit, Fortune Small Business Magazine has ranked Wilmington number 14 of the best midsize cities to launch a start-up business. The article in the November 2009 issue notes that there aren't a great deal of large employers in the area, which adds to the entrepreneurial air.
“In Wilmington, if you can’t find a job, you create one,” the article states.

The rate of small business growth in the area has been impressive: a 12.8 percent rate between 2004 and 2007, according to the article.
