Site Location Partnership

What Site Location Partnership does

Site Location Partnership (SLP) is a private, Dallas-area (Flower Mound, TX) consulting firm founded in 2008 that provides advisory services across two practice areas. The Corporate Location Practice advises companies in industrial and commercial sectors — including advanced manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, chemicals, electronics, food processing, healthcare, logistics and others — on site selection, relocation, expansion, and consolidation decisions, evaluating factors such as operating costs, labor markets, transportation, utility infrastructure, tax structure, incentives, and regulatory environment. The Economic Development Practice serves the 20,000+ economic development organizations worldwide that compete for corporate investment, providing relationship-marketing, trade show representation, and business attraction strategy.

The firm has no proprietary technology product; its core offering is human advisory expertise, complemented by the Hot Spots portal — an interactive online business intelligence tool providing location, industry and company profiles used as a content/lead-generation asset. SLP has cumulative track record of $840M+ in completed site location projects and 7,200+ jobs created over its operating history.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services engagements with two distinct customer segments (corporate enterprises and government/quasi-government economic development entities), priced on a project or contracted basis with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. The firm operates a small (11-50 employee) boutique model, distributes services through direct enterprise field sales, and generates top-of-funnel demand via active participation in 11+ major industrial trade shows per year, plus a content/website/social presence. SLP is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no M&A history.
