Mississippi Legal Framework for Business Sale Law

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with blue-pencil modification available

Enforceable under common law if reasonable. Mississippi courts apply a reasonableness test examining the duration, geographic scope, and activity restricted. Courts will blue-pencil overbroad restrictions to make them reasonable. Non-competes protecting the goodwill of a sold business are given broader latitude.

Tax Considerations

Mississippi imposes a graduated corporate income tax at rates of 0% (first $5,000), 4% ($5,001-$10,000), and 5% (over $10,000). The state uses a three-factor apportionment formula with double-weighted sales. Mississippi offers various tax exemptions and incentives for manufacturing and distribution operations.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the Mississippi Secretary of State. Bulk sales compliance requires creditor notification. Annual reports are required. Gaming acquisitions require Mississippi Gaming Commission approval.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Mississippi retains UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales) under Mississippi Code Section 75-6-101 et seq. Buyers of business assets in bulk must provide notice to the seller's creditors as specified in the statute. Failure to comply renders the transfer voidable.
