A web designer’s view of Edgefield’s businesses
The Census counted 122 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 29824, which includes Edgefield and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:
- Site preparation contractors (3): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
- Full-service restaurants (7): the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.
- Dental offices (3): insurance plans, new-patient information and a map to the office.
- Law offices (4): practice areas in plain words, the attorneys and a contact form for consultations.
Edgefield County as a whole had 355 employer establishments in 2023 and another 2,037 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Edgefield County has 2.1 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 28 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.

Paperwork and rules for South Carolina businesses online
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same South Carolina rules as any other.
- A contact form collects personal information, and South Carolina has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. S.C. Code Ann. Section 39-1-90
- South Carolina’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 6%, and a county may add up to 1% in local sales tax if its voters approve it. South Carolina Department of Revenue
- Cities and counties may impose a business license tax by ordinance, so check both the city and the county where the business operates; the standard license year runs from May 1 to April 30. In Edgefield, that means asking Edgefield County and the Town of Edgefield. S.C. Code Ann. Sections 6-1-315 and 6-1-400 et seq. (Business License Tax Standardization Act)
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect South Carolina sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in gross revenue from sales into South Carolina in a calendar year. Official source
- If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
