Indiana Transaction Considerations

  • Indiana's gaming industry is heavily regulated by the Indiana Gaming Commission, which must approve any change of control of a gaming license holder
  • Indiana's low corporate income tax rate (4.9%) and lack of a separate franchise tax make it a cost-effective jurisdiction for certain deal structures
  • Indiana law restricts physician non-competes, which is particularly relevant for healthcare practice acquisitions

Indiana Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with blue-pencil modification. Physician non-competes restricted.

Enforceable under common law if reasonable. Indiana courts apply the "blue pencil" doctrine, allowing modification of overbroad restrictions. Indiana enacted a physician non-compete restriction (effective July 1, 2020) limiting enforcement against physicians. For other employees, reasonableness factors include time (typically 1-2 years), geography, and scope of restricted activity.

Tax Considerations

Indiana imposes a flat 4.9% corporate income tax. The state uses single-factor sales apportionment with market-based sourcing. Indiana conforms to most federal tax provisions. No separate franchise tax applies.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Annual business entity reports are required. Regulated industry acquisitions (gaming, utilities, insurance) require separate agency approvals.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Indiana has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Indiana Department of Revenue may pursue successor liability claims against asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. Buyers should request a tax clearance letter (Form BC-100) before closing.
