Small Business Resources

Georgia’s network of programs gives registered companies greater exposure and opportunities for subcontracting with both public officials as well as private suppliers.

Here are some of the resources available to you:

• Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center: The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center (GTPAC) operates under a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). GTPAC is part of the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) of Georgia Tech and assists Georgia businesses in identifying, competing for, and winning government contracts.
   
• Small Business Administration/SCORE: SCORE is a resource partner with the Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA administers a Congressional grant which provides SCORE with funding. SCORE volunteers provide mentoring and training to entrepreneurs through SBA offices.
