Where Business is Big

30 Fortune 1000 Companies Call Atlanta Home

For a business, the distinction of being named to either the Fortune 500 or the Fortune 1000 list is a significant honor that reflects a truly impressive standard of performance and an unparalleled high mark of achievement. The companies on those lists not only serve their customers effectively with outstanding products and resources, but they also provide their employees with opportunities that are second to none. And they are welcome assets for the cities across the country that they choose to call home.

Atlanta, which has a reputation for being one of the most business-friendly cities in the nation, is proud to be a popular destination for many renowned companies that appear on the annual Fortune list. In 2020, the City of Atlanta ranked third in the country for the number of Fortune 500 firms and fourth for companies on the Fortune 1000 list. In fact, today, Atlanta is home to 16 Fortune 500 companies and 14 Fortune 1000 businesses. The attraction to the city makes sense, as Atlanta offers access to a booming economy, a low corporate tax structure, a highly educated and skilled workforce, one of the world’s largest travel hubs, a right-to-work status, a growing innovation ecosystem and much more. And every day, numerous companies are either launching in or relocating to the metro area.

In addition to the well-known names on the Fortune 500/1000 list, such as The Home Depot, The Coca-Cola Company and UPS, Atlanta also continues to draw many other top businesses in the nation, including State Farm, NCR Corporation, IHG, Porsche Cars North America and Mercedes-Benz, all of which have established headquarters here. That continued growth a testament to the city and its ongoing efforts to create a business climate that is ideal for companies of all sizes.

For so many, it’s all about Atlanta, where business is big.
