Before you build: what Beverly Hills looks like from a business owner’s chair

Beverly Hills sits 3.2 miles northwest of Waco, and 69.8% of its workers drive to work alone. Being close to Waco means competing with the whole metro; the local advantage is being close by. Make it obvious you are in Beverly Hills and list the neighborhoods you cover; that is your advantage over the metro.

Which Beverly Hills businesses need a small business website

Beverly Hills shares ZIP code 76711 with the surrounding area, where 252 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Among them:

• Used car dealers: 5. Their website should show your inventory photos, financing information you are allowed to share and a contact form.
• Coffee shops and snack bars: 8. Their website should show the menu, hours and photos of the counter and the drinks.
• Clothing stores: 4. Their website should show new arrivals, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.
• Beauty salons: 5. Their website should show services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.
• Hotels and motels: 4. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Dental offices: 7. Their website should show the dentists and their training, the insurance plans you accept, your hours and a form to request an appointment.

In McLennan County, the Census counted 5,928 businesses with employees and 20,626 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, McLennan County leans toward vehicle dealers (119 establishments, 1.4 times the national share). In that business, shoppers browse inventory and compare prices online, and the website should show inventory, financing information as allowed by law, service department hours and directions. Among Beverly Hills residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (21.9%) and transportation, warehousing and utilities (10.8%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Beverly Hills.

Precipitation totals about 38 inches a year, with May the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 38 times a year.

What Texas asks of a business with a website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.

• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• Check with both McLennan County and the City of Beverly Hills about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
