South Carolina Foreign Registration › About
About this South Carolina service
South Carolina Foreign Registration helps companies formed elsewhere obtain South Carolina authority to transact business, and avoid the mistakes the state says cause rejections.
What an order includes
A short questionnaire, a drafted Form F0008, a test of the five rejection points, two assembled copies and the submission.
Better asked elsewhere
Whether earlier activity counted as transacting business, and which South Carolina taxes apply, are matters for a South Carolina lawyer or accountant.
