South Carolina Transaction Considerations

  • South Carolina's extensive tax incentive programs (Job Tax Credits, fee-in-lieu of property tax, Enterprise Zones) can represent significant value in manufacturing and industrial acquisitions
  • The state's port system (Port of Charleston) expansion creates regulatory and competitive considerations for logistics and import/export business acquisitions
  • South Carolina courts have been generally employer-friendly on non-compete enforcement, making the state comparatively favorable for buyers seeking to retain restrictive covenants
