If you’re ready for business, Texas is the state for you.

Texas consistently ranks at the top of the list when it comes to business, whether you’re reading Forbes, Fortune or CNBC. In fact, the state is home to businesses large and small.

There are more than 50 Fortune 500 and at least 40 Fortune 1000 corporate headquarters across Texas. It is home to AT&T, ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark and McKesson as well as privately-held companies like Ben E. Keith, H-E-B and Hunt Oil. Texas also encourages small business success with 2.7 million small businesses employing 4.7 million people.

Universities across the state offer excellent business programs for students, whether the interest is in an associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree. And that’s a good thing, considering that Texas continues to add jobs. In 2018, one in seven jobs created in the United States was created in Texas. Like they say, everything in Texas is big. That holds true for business too.
