For start-ups and Fortune 500 companies alike, our available tax credits – including for workforce retraining – reward you for establishing or relocating your company headquarters to the state, for locating in a geographical area being targeted for development, or for contributing to the growth of a specific industry.

Small companies can thrive in Georgia with the help of programs designed specifically to meet their unique needs for becoming fiscally competitive. Many programs come from the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s regional offices and are developed in conjunction with the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech and other business-support institutions.

Economic success is the common goal for all businesses, and pro-commerce incentives, training programs and customized resources will continue the momentum of Georgia’s thriving business climate.
