Professional & Business Services
Norcross is a great location for Administrative Support Services that includes administrative, accounting, information technology and other corporate functions that do not typically involve client interactions. The increasingly complex nature of businesses like healthcare, finance and insurance are leading companies to devote entire facilities to administrative support services, often in locations that are cheaper to operate in compared to major professional service hubs in major cities. Our affordable office space, cost of doing business and affordable and large labor pool are attractive to administrative support operations.
