Atlanta, Georgia is unarguably the principle
city of the Southeast. With a population topping five million (according to the
2010 US Census), Atlanta is only rivaled by Miami Florida
in number of inhabitants. Its geographic location, positioned in the center of
the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and the Carolinas) makes it ideal as a hub for
interstate commerce, ground transportation and air travel.
It’s little wonder why so many established businesses and commercial
enterprises have made Atlanta their home or
regional headquarters for Georgia
and the Southeast. According to the Metro-Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the city
of Atlanta
headquarters an even dozen Fortune 500 companies, 2100 international headquarters
and literally thousands of small businesses and business franchises.
Other than the vibrant population and bustling local economy, Atlanta has a number of attractive qualities that makes it
a formidable rival for traditional business centers like New
York or Chicago.
To begin with, Atlanta
boasts a tremendous labor pool. With three major universities (Emory,
Georgia Tech and Georgia State
University) Atlanta’s local, talented work force makes
the city convenient to recruit executives, engineers, attorneys, managers, or
whatever else is needed. When companies do find a need to import talent from
other states or even countries, Atlanta has a
lot to offer and our Atlanta lawyers are always here to assist your
business.
The cost of living is relatively low in the Big Peach. This is very
attractive to entry-level prospects and junior executives who are looking to
stretch their salaries. In addition, Georgia is also known for it’s
moderate climate. Summers aren’t scorching, like you’ll find in other southern
cities, and winter snow is a rare occurrence. Weather is important, as Atlanta is a culture and sports Mecca. All four major sports franchises are
represented and there are events and celebrations the year round.
Transportation to and from Atlanta
is yet another commercial advantage that this city has to offer over its
rivals. Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport
serves as a hub for several national and international airlines. Over eighty
percent of the United States
is accessible within two hours from Hartsfield-Jackson. That means shorter
flights and fewer connections. Your executives, lawyers and salespeople will
less time in the air and more time working.
Whether you are already having a business concern in Georgia, or are looking to relocate, it benefits
businessmen and commerce companies in every industry to consider Atlanta as a base for
their business operations. That's why the Atlanta business lawyers at
Boling Rice, LLC are always here to help with your questions and concerns.
