Governor's Welcome

Welcome to Georgia's gateway to entrepreneur and small business assistance. As a long-time small business owner, I understand the demands and needs that entrepreneurs face and I am committed to improving the business climate of Georgia. Over 95 percent of all Georgia businesses have fewer than 50 employees and most of Georgia's job growth is a product of their success. Simply put, Georgia's economy is only as strong as our small businesses.

To that end we've created the Georgia Entrepreneur and Small Business Coordinating Network so that state agencies and their federal partners can better coordinate and cross-market their programs, leverage resources and bring entrepreneurs to the table in hopes of providing better services for the citizens of Georgia.

For communities seeking to improve their entrepreneurial activity and small business owners wanting to grow their efforts, I encourage you to utilize this website as your door to vast resources of state and federal programs.

I also invite you to provide feedback on the job we're doing and how we can improve our efforts.

With your help, we can grow a vibrant and more prosperous Georgia!

Governor Sonny Perdue
