The cost of doing business is 7% lower in Dallas than the national average
It’s about our low taxes, a low cost of doing business and a business-friendly environment not just in the Dallas region, but also the State of Texas. Those are just a few of the reasons why 21 Fortune 500 companies, 9 Forbes top private companies, and 41 among the Fortune 1000 call the region home.
It’s also about our people. We have 12 four-year universities in the region and seven community college districts. That, combined with a population that’s growing by 360 people every day, provides a robust workforce.
And it’s about our accessibility. Due to DFW’s central location and world-class transportation infrastructure, it is easy to do business locally, nationally and globally.
