New Ideas Grow Here

Innovation thrives in Bulloch County, where fostering entrepreneurship and supporting new ideas is a shared community priority. With a business-friendly climate, affordable operating costs, and strategic access to the Port of Savannah and major Southeastern markets, Bulloch County offers the ideal environment to launch, grow, and sustain a business.

At the heart of this ecosystem is the Business Innovation Group (BIG) at Georgia Southern University, which provides entrepreneurs with vital resources including coworking space, business incubation, mentorship, capital access, and professional development. Additional support from the Chamber’s Startup Guide, the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority, and Savannah SCORE helps new ventures establish strong foundations and navigate early growth.

This commitment to entrepreneurship has earned recognition—most notably with Statesboro being named one of WalletHub’s “Best Small Cities to Start a Business” in 2025. From tech startups and manufacturers to food, retail, and creative enterprises, Bulloch County offers the tools, community, and momentum needed for business success at every stage.
