Small businesses are essential to the growth and success of our economy. These businesses provide thousands of jobs throughout the state.

We're committed to serving Georgia's small business community with a focus on minority-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, and providing access to state purchasing opportunities, education, and business support services.

For more on how we are engaging and serving small businesses across our state, take a look at our Small Business and Supplier Diversity Initiative Progress Report.
