A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same South Carolina rules as any other.
- A business that owns or licenses computerized data containing personal identifying information about South Carolina residents must notify the affected residents of a breach in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay. S.C. Code Ann. Section 39-1-90
- Laurens County and the Town of Gray Court may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. S.C. Code Ann. Sections 6-1-315 and 6-1-400 et seq. (Business License Tax Standardization Act)
- 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

What Gray Court business owners ask us
Can the website mention Woodruff, Mauldin and the other towns I cover?
Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Woodruff, Mauldin, Laurens and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.
Can I sell online from Gray Court?
Yes. An online store with catalog, cart and online payment costs the same $89 a month as a regular website; sales tax is yours to collect (South Carolina’s state rate is 6%, and local taxes may apply).
Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 813 people?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Laurens County counts 4,442 nonemployer businesses and 985 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Gray Court is the point of the website.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
