Shorerock Loans, a small-business funding service in Marietta, Georgia, takes requests from across Cobb County and from Woodstock in Cherokee County. This page links six town pages built on each town's own ZIP and Census data, and answers Georgia business-setup questions that come before a funding request.

How to Create an LLC in Georgia Online?

Do I Need a Business License in Georgia? What Owners Should Know
Georgia does not issue one general business license for every business; cities and counties issue their own business licenses or occupation tax certificates, and some professions are licensed by state boards. Which applies depends on where the business operates and what it does. Ask the city or county office for your address.
Do I Need a Business License in GA for My LLC? Steps and Records
Forming an LLC with the state and holding a local business license are separate steps. After the LLC is registered, check with the city (inside city limits) or Cobb County (unincorporated areas) whether an occupation tax certificate is needed. A funding partner may ask to see current local licensing, so keep the certificate with the business records.
How Do I Look Up a Business License in Georgia? Where to Start
For an entity's registration status, search the Secretary of State's business search. For a local business license or occupation tax certificate, ask the issuing city or county. For a licensed profession, such as a nurse or an accountant, the state licensing board has its own lookup.

- Register the entity with the state, if it is an LLC or corporation.

- Register for state taxes that apply, such as sales tax or withholding.
Does an LLC Need a Business License in Georgia? Timing Before a Funding Request
If the local office requires a certificate, get it before you send a funding request. A partner may check that the business is registered and in good standing, and gaps in licensing can slow a review. Requests come by phone and form from towns without their own page too, including Vinings, Fair Oaks and the rest of Cobb County.
