BUSINESS RESOURCES

 

Of Georgia’s over 625,000 incorporated businesses, we know that over 97% are small, employing under 500, with 95 percent of those employing under 50.   We also know that entrepreneurship and the desire to follow one’s passion cross all business sectors.  Georgia’s creative and diverse citizens and businesses demand attention and exposure to all resources fitting their particular needs.  Georgia meets every aspect of business development, from the idea stage to start up to growth stage and beyond.  The most frequently asked question: “where do I go for what?” is answered in this valuable list of resources - from a start-up tax form to R&D and industry transformation. 


Did You Know?  Georgia’s Stage 1 business growth rate is 2.8 times the national average and 2.4 times the national average for Stage 2 growing companies (Lowe Foundation 11/08)
