Most people picture Orlando as Disney and Universal. Fair enough. Walt Disney World Resort employs 80,000 people, the biggest private payroll in the region. But the companies that buy B2B services are spread across four counties: Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Lake.
The metro has 2,957,672 residents and 77,951 business establishments. Of those, 18,782 have 10 or more employees. That is your real target list. Big enough to need a cleaning crew, an IT partner, a broker or a staffing firm. Small enough that a manager makes the call.
The buying runs in pockets. Banks and insurers run operations centers in Lake Mary and Heathrow. Defense simulation contractors sit around the Central Florida Research Park next to UCF. AdventHealth and Orlando Health, with 40,000 and 28,806 employees, pull a long tail of medical vendors. Lake Nona Medical City adds its own cluster of clinical buyers.
And the resorts never close. Hotels, timeshare companies and attractions run every day of the year, so their vendors get tested every day too. When a contractor slips, a manager starts taking calls.
Office space is soft right now. The market holds 36,513,912 square feet of office, with 16.7% overall vacancy in Q2 2026. Landlords and tenants are both watching costs. That makes them open to a better vendor, if someone asks at the right time.
