As a small business owner, I have firsthand experience with creating jobs that help to improve our local economy. Today there are many hurdles that must be jumped through for small businesses to receive licenses and permits, many of which inhibit business growth. Eliminating burdensome regulations is key to making it easier for small businesses to flourish.
On a state level, we must make the licensing and permitting process easier and reduce the valuable time spent waiting on the permits to be issued. Through legislation and partnerships with the Georgia Department of Transportation, Secretary of State's office, and Department of Revenue, we must streamline the licensing and permitting process to help ease the burden on small business owners.
