Enforceable under common law if reasonable. Missouri courts apply a reasonableness analysis focusing on whether the restriction is no greater than necessary to protect the employer's legitimate interests.

Missouri imposes a 4% corporate income tax, among the lowest in the country. The state uses single-factor sales apportionment with market-based sourcing. Missouri's low corporate rate makes it relatively attractive for C-corp acquisitions. The state conforms to most federal tax treatment of acquisitions.
Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Missouri Secretary of State. Annual reports (registration statements) are required. The Department of Revenue requires tax clearance for asset purchases.
Missouri has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Missouri Revised Statutes Section 144.150 imposes successor liability on asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid sales taxes. Buyers must request a tax clearance from the Missouri Department of Revenue.
