Wisconsin is on track to have another strong year for new-business starts. If the current rate of business openings continues, this will be the fourth straight year of double-digit growth. So far this year, 20,341 new companies have registered with the state, a rate that’s 12.5% ahead of last year. Some are high-tech companies spawned by professors and proximity to the state’s universities, but many more are in the traditional business categories of services, retail and manufacturing.
