How do industry type and location affect the likelihood of a small business surviving past its first year in Western Australia?

The success of regional businesses, particularly in the Wheatbelt (82.2% survival rate), is attributed to lower operational costs, strong community networks, and fewer competitors. Conversely, Perth's north-east and south-west suburbs show lower survival rates due to high competition, increased costs, and limited local spending. These areas are also dominated by industries with statistically higher failure rates for new businesses.
