COLUMBIA, S.C. – The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce (SC Chamber) released its annual Results for Business report recapping its advocacy efforts during the 2025 state legislative session. The Results for Business report serves as a follow-up to the 2025 Competitiveness Agenda released in January, which identified seven areas of focus for our General Assembly to address during the recently completed legislative session, and details the SC Chamber’s progress and results.
The 2025 Results for Business report shows that the SC Chamber’s advocacy efforts resulted in over a $807 million impact for South Carolina’s business community, or approximately $4,275 per employer in the state. Every dollar saved for businesses is another dollar to be reinvested in South Carolina’s economy.
“The Chamber has set forth an aggressive agenda to help our businesses and stimulate South Carolina’s economy, and we made tremendous progress in the first year of this legislative session,” said SC Chamber President and CEO, Mike Brenan. “With the help of the forward-thinking leadership in the General Assembly, we were able to deliver relief from a broken civil justice system that cost our businesses and families millions of dollars each year, significant tax cuts, confidence in the future of the state’s energy grid, and technical college scholarships for the most critical jobs. These policies will undoubtedly make South Carolina an even better state for business. We appreciate the opportunity to represent the interests of South Carolina’s job creators and will work collaboratively with the General Assembly to deliver even more pro-business wins in 2026.”
