Woodstock continues to grow, and is adding programs to help inspire and edify young entrepreneurs as they grow their businesses. In 2019, Woodstock produced some impressive numbers for entrepreneurs (woodstockga.gov).
\n\u2022 438 new business licenses were issued.
\n\u2022 22 ribbon cuttings celebrated new businesses through IN WDSTK.
\n\u2022 A new small business license waiver program was introduced, which waives fees for new businesses meeting certain criteria.<\/p>\n

With stats like these, it\u2019s clear that Woodstock business owners and residents are still very much invested in the growth of our community. With this in mind, where can a local entrepreneur go to receive support?<\/p>\n

Here are a few programs and partnerships available to encourage and educate entrepreneurs who decide to make Cherokee County the place to live and work:<\/p>\n
