What makes Irving different

Corporate headquarters. Las Colinas is home to many large company headquarters, supporting IT, staffing, facilities, janitorial, catering and consulting businesses.
Next to DFW Airport. Freight forwarding, logistics, courier, travel and hotel-related businesses benefit from the airport.
Daytime workforce. Restaurants, fitness and personal services rely on office traffic as well as residents, so buyers will ask how return-to-office trends affect revenue.
Diverse community. A large, diverse population supports a wide range of specialty retail, food and service businesses.

Josh's take: Irving runs on corporate traffic: Las Colinas headquarters, the airport, the hotels and everyone who serves them. Buyers here ask early what happened when the offices emptied out and how much has come back. If your best contract is with a corporate campus, make sure it can be assigned before you go to market.

Irving-specific considerations

Corporate contracts. B2B businesses with large corporate clients should check whether contracts can be assigned to a new owner. See Janitorial in DFW and IT Services and MSP in DFW.
Office-traffic exposure. Show revenue trends since 2020 so buyers can judge how stable weekday traffic is.
Local permits. City of Irving certificates of occupancy and health permits may need transfer or reissue.
State steps. Texas Comptroller sales tax clearance and current franchise tax.
