Business Funding in Houston, TX
Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. by population and the economic anchor of the Texas Gulf Coast. Energy is still the dominant force here, but the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, employs over 100,000 people and generates enormous demand for healthcare-adjacent businesses. Houston has no state income tax, which attracts business owners from higher-tax states. The metro area has over 250,000 small businesses, many of them in construction, trucking, and professional services tied to the energy supply chain.
