### Arkansas Transaction Considerations

- Arkansas courts refuse to blue-pencil non-compete agreements, making precise drafting critical in M&A transactions. An overbroad covenant is unenforceable in its entirety.
- The state's usury laws (Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 89) cap interest rates, which can affect seller financing arrangements in acquisitions
- Arkansas has a relatively low filing fee structure for entity formations and mergers, reducing administrative transaction costs

## Arkansas Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

### Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable but no blue-pencil doctrine. Overbroad agreements are voided entirely.

Enforceable under Arkansas Code Section 4-75-101. Courts use a reasonableness test, considering whether the agreement protects legitimate interests and is reasonable in time, geography, and scope. Arkansas courts will not blue-pencil or reform overbroad agreements. They will instead void the entire covenant.

### Tax Considerations

According to Arkansas DFA corporate instructions, the top corporate income tax rate is 4.3%. The Arkansas legislature reduced the top rate to 4.1% for tax years beginning in 2027. Buyers should model the applicable tax year and confirm state treatment of the proposed transaction with their tax adviser.

### Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Arkansas Secretary of State. A Certificate of Good Standing from the seller's entity is typically required. Businesses holding professional licenses must file separate transfer or re-application paperwork with the relevant licensing board.

### Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Arkansas has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Buyers should request a tax clearance certificate from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration before closing an asset transaction to avoid successor liability for unpaid sales and use taxes.
