Missouri Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with reformation available. New healthcare worker restrictions.

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 courts will reform overbroad covenants rather than void them entirely. In 2024, Missouri enacted a new statute banning non-competes for healthcare workers at certain compensation levels.

Tax Considerations

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.

Filing Requirements

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.

Bulk Sales / 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Missouri has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales).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.
