Find local business services

Use Business services to research vendors for printing, signs, websites and software, marketing, graphic design, computer support, cleaning, grounds and landscaping, catering, and staffing. Browsing is free and requires no account.

Find a service and city

1. Open Explore SETX → Find Business Services, or select Find business services in Business Resources. On a phone, open the menu to find the link.
2. Select Find a local vendor to jump to the finder.
3. Choose a Service. The default is All services.
4. Choose a City. The default is All cities. City choices come from the available eligible comparisons.
5. Read the matching comparison-page count. It counts service/city destinations, not unique businesses.
6. Read the service card's Have ready and Questions for your proposal.
7. Select a city link to open its comparison. Up to six city links appear on a card initially; select More cities for… to reveal the rest. This section starts closed.

A destination appears only when at least three listings qualify for that business-type/city comparison. Counts use the existing comparison rules and refresh on an hourly cache. They do not establish commercial availability, a current license or that every listed provider accepts your project. Confirm those details directly.

If no comparison is available, choose All cities, select Reset filters, or use search the directory. Reset restores both menus to All. Filters are kept only in the current page; they are not saved to your account or URL. Reloading resets them. With JavaScript disabled, all available links and questions remain visible, including the native More cities disclosures; filtering needs JavaScript.

Prepare and contact your shortlist

1. Open a city comparison.
2. Expand Build your three-business shortlist and select up to three businesses.
3. Use Copy shortlist or Download shortlist before leaving the page. See shortlist instructions for defaults and troubleshooting.
4. Contact each provider through its available phone or website link and confirm the project type, location and timing.
5. Give each provider the same scope and ask for a written proposal covering deliverables, charges, approvals and support.

Selecting a city, filtering, or saving a shortlist does not contact a provider, submit an inquiry or book work. No personal project information is collected by this finder. Selecting a comparison link records its fixed service and city identifiers through the existing analytics system.
