Decide Dekalb

Decide DeKalb is a leading authority in attracting regional, national, and international companies, and entrepreneurs to DeKalb County. Let us know how our diverse array of economic development programs and services may help your business grow and thrive.
 

Decide DeKalb serves as the primary economic development driving force to attract, expand and retain businesses in DeKalb County, Georgia. Established in 1974 as the Development Authority of DeKalb County, Decide DeKalb works with partners, stakeholders and the business community at-large to spur capital investments, encourage job growth and create business sustainability within our target industries as well as the burgeoning Entertainment sector.
 

It takes money to make money. To help businesses find it, Decide DeKalb boosts their awareness and ways to get capital, regularly updating them on primary funding source information. We also provide an easier-to-use, one- or two-page fact sheet. It includes contacts at:
 

– Banks
– Credit Unions
– Small Business Administration and more
 

But our professionals dig deeper, working with secondary funding sources. As a result, we offer a condensed fact sheet that lists contacts for lending institutions or incentive programs, such as a:
 
– Revolving Loan Fund
– Targeted Business Assistance Fund
 

To assist with loan preparation, Decide DeKalb refers businesses to business plan organizations and accommodates their meetings at our “one-stop” office.
