What the numbers show

Georgia’s 2,911,226 companies place it 5th nationally, 4.5% of the U.S. total. Activity clusters in its largest metros — Atlanta, Marietta and Lawrenceville alone account for 24.6% of the state’s companies — while industrial & mechanical is the dominant sector at 30.8%. For buyers and sellers, that means the deepest pools of suppliers and manufacturers sit in a handful of cities and one or two sectors; the charts above link straight into each so you can shortlist by capability and region.
