Business Expansion Programs
Texas businesses expanding operations may qualify for the Texas Enterprise Fund, Chapter 380 economic development agreements, property tax abatements, SBA 504 expansion loans, and Skills Development Fund training grants. Expansion projects unlock the largest incentive packages available — but you need to know what to ask for.
Texas is one of the most aggressive states in the nation when it comes to attracting and retaining business investment. The state, cities, and counties offer a layered incentive system designed to support expansion projects — from the Texas Enterprise Fund that provides deal-closing grants for major employers to Chapter 380/381 agreements that cities and counties negotiate on a project-by-project basis. Property tax abatements under Chapter 312 can reduce tax obligations by up to 100% for up to 10 years. SBA 504 loans provide below-market fixed-rate financing for real estate and equipment. Skills Development Fund grants cover workforce training costs for expanding operations. The key is that most of these incentives are negotiated, not automatic — businesses that know to ask receive significantly more support than those that don't.
