Featured Funding Opportunities
Active public subsidies and capital programs available for businesses operating in South Carolina:
Job Development Credits (JDC)
Quarterly Cash Refund (2% - 5% of payroll)Provided by: Coordinating Council for Economic Development | Type: Grant
JDCs are the most valuable incentive. They allow companies to collect a portion of the state withholding tax from their employees' paychecks and, instead of sending it to the state, keep it to reimburse themselves for eligible capital costs. It acts as a quarterly cash grant.

Cash Grant for InfrastructureProvided by: Coordinating Council | Type: Grant
This discretionary fund helps local governments provide the infrastructure needed for a new company. It pays for road access, site preparation, or utility extensions. It is often the "closer" in a deal.
Official PortalreadySC
100% Custom TrainingProvided by: SC Tech College System | Type: Grant
readySC is legendary. The state will go out, recruit your workers, screen them, and train them on your specific equipment (often building a temp training center) at NO cost to you. It de-risks the startup phase of a factory.
