What the starter contains
The South Carolina share register starter is a working spreadsheet template with the columns every SCBCA corporation needs:
- Holder details: name, address, contact, registered vs. beneficial owner.
- Share details: class, series, number of shares, par value (if applicable).
- Issuance details: date, certificate number, consideration paid, board resolution reference.
- Transfer history: transfer date, transferee, certificate cancellation/reissuance.
- Operational columns: vesting status, lock-up status, voting agreement notes.
SCBCA statutory minimum
For South Carolina corporations under South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, S.C. Code § 33-1-101 et seq., the register must capture the information required by the controlling statute. The starter columns are mapped to the statutory minimum, with operational extensions clearly distinguished from required fields. Confirm the statutory list with counsel when you put the register into production use.
Use as the foundation, not the final answer
A spreadsheet starter is the right tool to set up the register at incorporation or to reconstruct a register that has fallen out of date. It is not a substitute for a live, reconciled corporate-records system, spreadsheet registers tend to drift from the cap table over time, and the drift is what diligence counsel will eventually find. Treat the starter as the foundation, with a long-term move to live records on the roadmap.
We’ll send the editable Word version, a print-ready PDF, and the SCBCA statute references so you can adapt the template for your situation.
