Here are the 40 new businesses issued licenses by Cobb County on the week ending Friday,, 2025.

These are only licenses for businesses in unincorporated Cobb County. Cities issue their own licenses.

We’ve edited out some of the administrative information, but if you want to see the complete table of listings, we’ve included a link to the original PDF at the bottom of this article.

What sorts of businesses were licensed over the past week?

Overall, the newly licensed businesses skew heavily toward small, service-oriented operations, many of them home-based or individually run. Professional and administrative services show up frequently, including management and business consulting, non-CPA accounting and bookkeeping, construction management, and general business management offices. There are also  personal-service businesses such as beauty shops, physical fitness trainers, swimming instructors, and handyman services, suggesting continued growth in locally provided, consumer-facing services rather than large retail or industrial operations.

Food- and health-related licenses also make up a meaningful share of the list. Several cottage food businesses were licensed, along with a wholesale meat operation and convenience food retail. On the healthcare side, the records include physicians, health and allied services, and related professional licenses, alongside exempt insurance agents and a religious nonprofit organization. 

Taken together, the mix points to incremental, grassroots economic activity: people formalizing consulting practices, personal services, small food production, and mobile or specialized trades, rather than large new employers entering the market.
