Geography of Dallas

Dallas, located in the heart of Texas, is a dynamic city known around the world for its dramatic history, culture, and iconic skyline.

Its impressive economic growth has made it a magnet for companies seeking to establish a presence in the Lone Star State. It’s one of a series of fast-growing business hubs across Texas along with Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.

Dallas founded its early fortune in cotton, oil, and as a major inland port and stop on the railroad network. The smart diversification of its economy, rolled out over the past decades, has protected the city’s economy from shocks like major dips in the oil price.

Dallas is a popular business and leisure destination welcoming 25 million visitors a year. This is a great sporting city too. The Dallas Cowboys is one of the NFL’s most successful franchises, generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the local economy.

Other major market teams include the MLB’s Rangers, the NHL’s Stars, and the NBA’s Mavericks.

8 Benefits of establishing your company in Dallas

Dallas has had a great century so far. The economy is performing very well and the population is growing. Despite all this change, the city and the state have retained the characteristics and identity they’re famous for.

These are eight key reasons you should choose coworking in Dallas for your business.

1. Low cost of living

Dallas offers a lower cost of living compared to many other major US cities.

Housing is a big issue across America at the moment. Not in Dallas, though, because property here is cheaper than the national average and 60% lower than Los Angeles.

Similarly, transport costs across the city are 31% lower than in Seattle. Statistics also show that people in Dallas pay less for groceries, food, and eating out.

Starting up, moving to, or expanding to Dallas will mean lower living costs for you and your employees.

2. Tax-friendly environment

Texas and Dallas are well known in the US for being business-friendly, low-tax environments.

There is no income tax in Dallas, and Texas is also one of six states with no corporate income tax, so your company can invest more in its future.

Overall, Texas has the fifth-lowest tax burden across the US at a rate of 7.6% compared to the national average of 10.3%.

The state also runs several tax incentive programs to help businesses survive and grow. For example, the Texas Enterprise Fund offers incentives for companies to choose Texas over an out-of-state option.

3. Geographic location

The city benefits from a robust transport infrastructure, including major highways and the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

This makes it easier for businesses to easily connect with suppliers and customers across the wider United States and beyond. This explains why the state has been the US’s largest exporter for over two decades.

Texas is keen to retain that title, so it continues to spend money on improving the infrastructure. They have made significant investments in rail and air service, water ports, and ground transport.

4. Well-developed business ecosystem

Dallas provides businesses with access to a market of more than 6.6 million people, all of whom pay zero income tax in the city. Its low cost of living also pushes up consumers’ disposable incomes.

There are 3.1 million small businesses, 90 Fortune 1000 headquarters, and over 1,700 foreign-owned firms in the state.

Chief Executive magazine named the state the best for business. Texas has also won awards for its business climate and its startup environment.

The state may be famous for its energy sector, but there are dynamic business clusters across many different industries.

There are nearly 7,500 advanced manufacturing firms employing 280,000 people, as well as 7,000 firms in the biotech and life science cluster employing approximately 86,000 people. The 140,000 people working for the aerospace, aviation, and defense companies also contribute massively to the economy.

Other important clusters in the state include IT, creative industries, and corporate services.

5. Economic growth

The Dallas economy, like the Texas economy, has experienced remarkable expansion. The city’s growth has outpaced that seen in other major centers like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

Dallas’s traditional business sectors are doing very well, as are its newer, more cutting-edge businesses. That diversity gives the city's economy resilience and adaptability in the face of economic challenges.

The workforce in Dallas is talented and is a key factor in driving the city’s prosperity. That's in large part thanks to the excellent teaching at the state's 148 higher education institutions.

Six Texas universities feature in America's top 100. Every year, 40,000 students graduate equipped with the knowledge and skills companies in the city need.

The city is home to 24 Fortune 500 companies as well as many other national and multinational firms. The startup scene in Dallas is also thriving. There is an active venture capital and private investor community here ready to back the latest ideas.

Inward migration is the fourth highest among the top 20 US cities. Millennials and young families come here to claim their part in the booming economy, further increasing the local talent pool and fueling growth in the city.

6. Access to business resources

The City’s Office of Economic Development (OED) is proactive in supporting the 130,000 small businesses and startups in the city.

They offer business planning, accounting, and marketing to local entrepreneurs. The OED also facilitates a range of networking opportunities in Dallas and runs many funding programs for startups.

The City of Dallas Small Business Center has a great range of resources. If you need funding for your SMB, they can point you in the right direction. They also run a range of programs for people traditionally underrepresented in business to develop the next set of leaders.

7. Impact of future work

Businesses in Dallas have embraced coworking.

The number of flexible workspaces in the city has doubled. Dallas-Fort Worth now has the third largest coworking market in the US, taking up nearly five million square feet of space.

The business benefits of coworking have been proven. Companies can move in quickly and on flexible terms. There’s no need to arrange interior renovation, buy furniture, or wait for phone lines and broadband. They also don’t need to spend thousands with a solicitor negotiating a break clause on triple net leases.

Furthermore, coworking in Dallas makes networking and collaboration something you do every day. And when businesses interact regularly with each other, that sparks innovation and creativity.

Studies have shown how networking is a predictor of small business performance. Your coworking space in Dallas will be full of like-minded, driven individuals who can help you move forward.

8. Transportation throughout the city

Dallas is well-connected and strategically located in one of America’s fastest-growing economies.

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport provides flights to 254 destinations, 191 domestic and 63 international. You can get to every major city from here within four hours.

Getting around Dallas is convenient and quick thanks to the DART light rail system. Covering 93 miles and with 65 stations, the system’s four lines take you to stops across the metro area.

Many major interstates pass through the city, too. I-35 connects Dallas to other major Texas cities as well as Oklahoma, Kansas City, and Des Moines. If you need to go to Houston, you can take I-45. I-20 takes you to Abilene, while I-30 provides a direct route to Little Rock.

How much are coworking offices in Dallas, TX?

Dallas has a well-deserved reputation for its low cost of living, as we’ve read. The state also takes far less in tax from its companies and citizens.

That value for money extends to the cost of coworking memberships in Dallas.

You can secure a dedicated desk within a coworking area from as little as $179 per person per month in the city.

This compares favorably to other major economic centers in the US. For example, coworking spaces in Seattle start from around $209 per month while coworking spaces in Los Angeles start from around $229.
