Georgia Transaction Considerations

  • Georgia's 2011 constitutional amendment and Restrictive Covenants Act dramatically changed non-compete enforceability, making pre-2011 Georgia case law unreliable for assessing existing covenants in target companies
  • Georgia's transferable film and entertainment tax credits can represent significant value in acquisitions of qualifying businesses
  • The state's port system (Port of Savannah) creates opportunities and regulatory considerations for acquisitions of logistics and import/export businesses

Georgia Legal Framework for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable under 2011 statutory framework. Blue-pencil available.

Enforceable under the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. Section 13-8-50 et seq.), enacted in 2011 via constitutional amendment. The Act overturned decades of hostile case law and now permits blue-penciling. Covenants must be reasonable in time, geography, and scope. Non-competes in connection with the sale of a business are given broader latitude than employment-based covenants.

Tax Considerations

According to the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the corporate income tax rate is 4.99% for 2026. The state uses single-factor sales apportionment. Confirm the applicable tax year, sourcing and treatment of the proposed acquisition with a tax adviser.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division. Annual registrations are required. Professional license transfers require separate filings with the relevant Georgia licensing board.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Georgia has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Buyers should obtain a tax clearance certificate from the Georgia Department of Revenue before closing asset purchases, as successor liability for the seller's unpaid withholding and sales taxes can attach.
