So you want to start a new business in Georgia, but you aren't sure what type of business entity is best for you?

The Georgia Secretary of State provides some very nice beginner resources to assist business upstarts in understanding the basics of business entity formation choices.



Which Georgia Legal Entity is Right for Your Georgia Business?


Business Startup Process:

Once you have decided on the type of business you want to explore, you'll have to chose a name.  Of course you need to make sure the name is available in Georgia.  Depending on the type of company, there may be national brands already using a trademark, so be sure to consult an attorney if you aren't sure about the availability of your desired company name. 

A great resource for quickly and easily searching existing company names is again available at the Georgia Secretary of State's website.  Please note that using this site does not constitute a complete or guaranteed search, it is just a convenient and affordable resource to see if a name might be available.
