In South Carolina, the Secretary of State is responsible for registering corporations, with Mark Hammond currently holding the position. South Carolina is known for its favorable business climate, featuring low corporate tax rates and incentives for industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive. The state’s strategic location along the southeastern coast, combined with major ports and transportation infrastructure, provides significant advantages for companies involved in logistics and export activities. These factors make South Carolina an appealing choice for incorporation.
