Georgia Is a Top Pick for Business
Georgia touts its robust infrastructure and access to the world, and with good reason. The Peach State is home to the world’s busiest airport, and the state is highly accessible by air, sea, railroad, and roadway.
Area Development ranks Georgia first place in its Top States for Doing Business list, a rank Georgia has maintained since 2014. And they’re not the only ones who are impressed. Twenty percent of executives who responded to the Winning Strategies in Economic Development Marketing survey named Georgia the best state for business, putting the state third overall in the survey. Many business executives have Georgia on their minds because of its focus on workforce and infrastructure as well as its numerous business incentives.
Georgia’s business incentives include tax credits, tax exemptions, and other financial assistance for large and small businesses. The cost of living is also a major attractor (Fitsmallbusiness.com ranks Georgia ninth in the nation for cost of living).
There are many reasons to open a business in this impressive state. Talk to FranNet’s local experts today; they’re ready to help you choose a business that’s right for you and right for Georgia.
