We hold no Georgia dataset of our own. On request, we compile lists of Georgia businesses by industry and county from public sources and tell you before you order which fields, how many records and which as-of date we can deliver. For scale: the U.S. Census Bureau counts 261,320 establishments with paid employees in Georgia (2023) and 1,236,191 businesses without paid employees (2024).

Public registers are the starting point of a list on request; contact fields come from the companies' websites. For some industries, state license records add the license type and status.
The state office that keeps the records of corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships registered in Georgia. Which of its records can be used for a list is checked for each request.
Federal rules apply in every state: the CAN-SPAM Act for commercial email, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule for calls and texts. States can add rules of their own, as Florida does with its Telephone Solicitation Act. An export contains no consent; the compliance of your campaign is your responsibility. This is not legal advice.
FAQ
It depends on what you count. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 261,320 establishments with paid employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns) and 1,236,191 businesses without paid employees in 2024 (Nonemployer Statistics), 1,497,511 together. Of the businesses without employees, 1,108,669 were sole proprietorships. None of these figures comes from our dataset.
No. Our main product is the Florida Business Database. For Georgia we compile data on request and confirm the scope, the as-of date and the price before you order.
Because each is the latest year published: County Business Patterns runs to 2023 and Nonemployer Statistics to 2024. Within one year a business is in only one of the two series; because the years differ, the sum approximates the number of businesses rather than counting it exactly.
There is no price list for markets on request. The price depends on the industries, the region, the fields and the number of records; we quote it in USD before you order.
Name the industry, the region and the fields you need. We reply with what we can compile from public sources for Georgia, with the scope, the as-of date and the price, before you order.
