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

South Carolina Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with blue-pencil modification. Generally employer-friendly.

Enforceable under common law if reasonable. South Carolina courts evaluate reasonableness based on the necessity to protect legitimate business interests, the restriction's scope, and the impact on the restricted party. Courts will blue-pencil overbroad covenants. South Carolina has been generally favorable to enforcement.

Tax Considerations

South Carolina imposes a 5% corporate income tax. The state uses a three-factor apportionment formula with double-weighted sales (transitioning to single-factor sales). South Carolina offers significant tax incentives for job creation and capital investment through the Enterprise Zone Act and similar programs.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the South Carolina Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. Tax clearance (Form C-268) is needed for asset purchases.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

South Carolina has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The South Carolina Department of Revenue may assert successor liability against asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. Buyers should obtain a tax clearance (Form C-268) before closing.
