Charleston, SC, with its rich history, top notch dining, and enviable weather has been voted the Best City in America and the #1 City in the World by Travel & Leisure magazine. But more than an idyllic place to live, Charleston is also an award-winning metro area for business. The city was recently ranked 9th among top US metros for high foreign direct investment (FDI) intensity, and nearby Mt. Pleasant was ranked the second-fastest growing small city in the US last year according to a WalletHub study. A variety of tax credits and economic incentives entice businesses to call Charleston home, and the skilled workforce and lack of state property tax and local income tax are budget friendly.
Put our expert knowledge of the Charleston business climate to work for you. Viking’s marine brokers are seasoned professionals in mergers, acquisitions, and the sale and purchase of marine related businesses. We’ve successfully closed sales on more than 600 companies, including many in the Charleston, SC area.

GETTING YOUR MARINE BUSINESS READY TO SELL
Here are a few tips to get your Charleston, SC business ready to sell:
- GET IN TOUCH: Contact us for a confidential business valuation of your Charleston, SC marine business. Our marine brokers have a combined 88 years of experience buying and selling businesses -- and many have bought and sold their own businesses.
- GATHER CURRENT FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS: Work with your accountant to pull together your fully-reconciled financial statements. Your ability to show your marine company’s cash flow will have a significant impact on the success of your sale.
- COLLECT BUSINESS RECORDS: Gather all of your paperwork in one place. Show potential buyers you are organized and serious by having business records like lease agreements, asset lists, and contracts in order.
- TIDY UP: If you’ve put off repairs or any manner of cleaning up, remember: you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Procrastination will cost you -- literally. Take care of these items before buyers start looking
