Tallglen Commercial Capital, a funding service in Greenwood, South Carolina, takes requests from owners across Greenwood County and nearby towns in Abbeville, Laurens and McCormick counties. Town notes use ZIP-level Census counts, which describe postal areas rather than town limits.
Ninety Six, Hodges, Troy and Other Greenwood County, SC Towns
Ninety Six, SC sits about 8 miles east of Greenwood. ZIP 29666, whose USPS name is Ninety Six, had 72 employer establishments in 2023, 62.5% with fewer than five employees (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023); the town covers only a small part of that ZIP's land, so the figure describes the postal area. Hodges, SC, about 8 miles northwest, has ZIP 29653 with 49 employer establishments in 2023 (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023), again a ZIP much larger than the town.
Troy, SC, about 16 miles south-southwest, has ZIP 29848 with 5 employer establishments in 2023, and Bradley, SC, about 12 miles south-southwest, ZIP 29819 with 13 (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Coronaca, Promised Land and Cokesbury, SC are unincorporated places within Greenwood County without a ZIP of their own in the Census file. Requests from any of them are handled the same way as requests from Greenwood: by phone at (864) 523-5646 or through the request form.
Ware Shoals, SC and Towns in Laurens County, SC
Ware Shoals, SC, about 14 miles north-northwest, straddles Greenwood and Laurens counties. Its ZIP 29692 had 54 employer establishments in 2023, 61.1% with fewer than five employees (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Laurens, SC, about 23 miles north-northeast, is the seat of a different county; ZIP 29360 had 410 employer establishments in 2023, 95 in retail trade (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Greenwood County figures elsewhere on this site do not describe either place.
Waterloo, SC (ZIP 29384, 36 employer establishments), Cross Hill, SC (ZIP 29332, 19) and Mountville, SC (ZIP 29370, 5) are smaller Laurens County towns and places to the north and northeast (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Princeton and Watts Mills, SC are Census-designated places in Laurens County without their own ZIP counts here.
Abbeville County, SC and McCormick County, SC
Abbeville, SC, about 12 miles west, had 233 employer establishments in ZIP 29620 in 2023, 55.8% with fewer than five employees (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Due West, SC (ZIP 29639, 28 establishments) and Donalds, SC (ZIP 29638, 17) lie further northwest in Abbeville County, and Antreville, SC is an unincorporated place there.
To the south-southwest, McCormick, Willington, Mount Carmel and Plum Branch, SC are in McCormick County; ZIP 29845 (Plum Branch) had 12 employer establishments in 2023 (ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). None of these places has its own page on this site; the Greenwood, SC page holds the county figures for Greenwood County only.
How to Obtain an LLC in South Carolina? The Short Version
An LLC in South Carolina is formed by filing articles of organization with the South Carolina Secretary of State. Partners reviewing a funding request for an LLC may ask for those articles, the EIN letter from the IRS and an operating agreement. Confirm current filing steps and fees with the Secretary of State's office.
How to Register an LLC in South Carolina? Timing Before a Funding Request
Form the LLC and open its business bank account before asking for funding in its name. A partner reads the account history; an account opened last week has little to show. If the business ran as a sole proprietorship first, keep those records too and explain the change.
How Much Does It Cost to Get an LLC in SC? Records to Keep on File
The filing fee is set by the state, and Tallglen does not quote it; check with the Secretary of State. Whatever the cost, keep the filed articles, the state's acknowledgment and the EIN letter together. Partners ask for them, and so do banks when opening the business account.
How Much Does a Business License Cost in SC? A Checklist
- Business licenses in South Carolina are issued by cities and counties, not by a single state license.

- Sales tax registration is separate and goes through the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
