Corporate Services

Texas’ robust corporate services industry supports growing companies of all sizes. The state’s corporate services workforce is estimated to be more than 1.5 million, with businesses finding specialized labor to meet their needs in all regions of the state. Many companies each year, including Fortune 500 firms, choose to move their headquarters or expand corporate operations to Texas, increasing the state’s status as the new headquarters for HQs. In fact, since 2015, Texas has attracted more than 300 corporate headquarter relocations.

Chevron, Charles Schwab, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, CBRE, NRG Energy, AECOM, Caterpillar and Tesla are just a few of the companies that have moved their headquarters to Texas in recent years. Houston boasts one of the largest concentrations of U.S. headquarter locations for companies from around the world.

Included in our corporate services tool box is Texas’ dominance in data services, back office operations and more. The state is one of the top in the nation for data infrastructure and Dallas-Fort Worth is the fourth-largest established data center market in the world, while Austin ranks #9 among the world's emerging markets. The state is also strong in corporate support services such as financial services and IT. In addition, Texas is among the top tier of U.S. states for doctorates awarded in tech-related fields.
