If you are active in the Georgian business community in the United States, especially in New York, you have likely heard the name Rati Ramishvili.



His name frequently comes up in conversations about launching companies, navigating licensing requirements, expanding operations, and preparing businesses for funding. Not because of promotion, but because his involvement has intersected with a significant number of operating businesses across industries.



Rati operates at the structural level of business growth, where decisions influence scalability, capital access, and long term durability.







Licensing Across Industries




Although many first associate him with Georgian restaurants, his involvement extends well beyond hospitality.



Over the years, Rati has worked across construction, transportation, retail, professional services, and other regulated sectors. Licensing in New York is layered and industry specific, often requiring coordination across multiple agencies, strict timelines, and aligned documentation.



His experience allows him to anticipate friction points before they delay progress. When ownership structures create complications, when prior filings cause inconsistencies, or when businesses expand into new jurisdictions, he works to realign the framework so growth can continue efficiently.



At scale, licensing becomes strategic infrastructure rather than administrative procedure.







Formation at Volume




Rati Ramishvili has been involved in the formation of thousands of companies. That volume creates perspective.



He understands how early structural decisions affect taxation, liability exposure, partnership dynamics, and expansion years later. Businesses evolve. Ownership changes. Funding conversations demand consistency and clarity.



A company’s foundation must be built with future growth in mind, not just initial launch.



Through high volume formation and restructuring work, he has developed insight into how businesses can position themselves for durability rather than short term convenience.







Positioning Businesses for Funding




Access to capital often determines whether a business remains limited or scales.



Rati works with business owners to strengthen how their companies are positioned before entering funding discussions. Capital providers evaluate more than revenue. They assess organization, documentation history, ownership clarity, and structural consistency.



By addressing alignment early, businesses approach funding conversations with stronger footing and greater credibility.



This positioning work plays an important role in helping companies move from startup phase to growth phase.







Building a Connected Entrepreneurial Network




Beyond licensing and company formation, Rati founded and leads the Facebook group Georgian Business in USA, which now exceeds 10,000 members.



The network connects entrepreneurs across industries and states. It has become a central platform where business owners exchange information, share opportunities, and form partnerships.



As the Georgian entrepreneurial presence in the United States continues to expand, this community plays a role in strengthening collaboration and accelerating opportunity within the network.






Through cross industry licensing, the formation of thousands of companies, funding positioning support, and leadership of a 10,000 plus member business community, Rati Ramishvili has played a meaningful role in strengthening Georgian entrepreneurship across America.
