Healthcare, professional services and a growing number of corporate offices and distribution centers are common here, and the city runs its own business license office. Henderson neighborhoods such as Green Valley, Anthem and Inspirada are largely residential, so many local businesses are home-based consultants, contractors and online sellers. Larger employers cluster near the airport and along the Interstate 215 and Interstate 11 corridors.
