Start a Business
Mesquite
is built on the entrepreneur. Many of our largest companies began as a small
business in Mesquite, some actually in the garage or as a sketch on the
proverbial restaurant napkin.
Our city works with partners to bring the tools to the entrepreneur, already in business or with a dream. We even named a day in November Entrepreneurs Day.
