Below you will find examples of Downtown Business Start-Up Guides from Georgia Main Street communities, including Thomasville, Augusta, Cartersville, and Perry. These guides can serve as helpful references for communities looking to create or update resources for entrepreneurs, property owners, and prospective downtown businesses.
Start-up guides are a great way to outline key steps in the business development process, connect entrepreneurs with local contacts, explain permitting or licensing requirements, and make it easier for new businesses to navigate the process of opening in a downtown district.
