What Do I Need to Get a Business License in Georgia? What Owners Should Know
Georgia does not issue one statewide general license for every business. Cities and counties issue local business licenses, in many cases through an occupation tax certificate, and many trades need a state license on top. What a business needs depends on the activity and the address, so confirm with the city or county where the business operates.
