Small-business success isn't just about fundraising.

A strong work environment can separate the winners from the flounders, according to a 2019 survey. In fact, the country's thriving small businesses credit success to intangibles like an entrepreneur's grit and how hard employees work.

And some small businesses are better at creating positive work environments than others.

Job listing site Comparably compiled a ranking of the 25 small and midsize businesses with the happiest employees by analyzing anonymous employee feedback on their website to measure fair pay, perks, benefits, and work environment.
