Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is once again reminding Georgia business owners to protect their businesses from rip-off solicitations....

Secretary Raffensperger is calling on Georgia registered businesses and Georgia investors to stop business with Russia in solidarity with Ukraine.

The soliciting company charges significantly more to complete corporate registration filings than Georgia law requires.

Small Business Saturday is one of the ways individuals can support members of their community while getting the things they need for the holidays.

Raffensperger is extending the time for Georgia corporations to file their annual registration.

People can support these businesses by purchasing gift cards to use at a later date, by shopping locally online, and by ordering curbside or takeout.

Raffensperger is partnering with Rep. Marcus Wiedower (R-Watkinsville) to pass laws to protect Georgians from misleading business solicitations.

Business owners have received deceptive letters that could mislead them into believing additional fees are necessary.

This marks the first time new business formation surpassed 150,000 in a calendar year, a significant milestone for Georgia businesses.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are 1.1 million small businesses in Georgia.

Raffensperger has recognized Georgia as the top state for starting and growing a small business.

Raffensperger reminds officers and registered agents to file annual business registrations with the Corporations Division by Monday, April 1st.
