The cost to incorporate in South Carolina is $235.00. Keep in mind that this cost to incorporate includes only registering your corporation with the state; it does not include any licenses or permits that may also be required for your business in your location.

To incorporate in South Carolina, you'll need to submit Articles of Incorporation, which will provide the Secretary of State with important information about your business. This information will be placed on file and made a part of South Carolina's corporate records; much of those corporate records will be a matter of public record, searchable by anyone through the Secretary of State's website.
