Anderson County is a key part of the SC Upstate economic corridor, anchored by the City of Anderson and bordered by Lake Hartwell to the west. The county blends a strong manufacturing heritage with growing healthcare, retail, and lakefront recreation economies.
Anderson University anchors higher education, while AnMed Health (now Bon Secours St. Francis) is the county's largest employer. Lake Hartwell — shared with Georgia — drives a recreation and vacation economy. The county's manufacturing base includes automotive suppliers, textiles, and plastics.

Serving Anderson County means knowing it. Here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Anderson County earned the nickname 'The Electric City' when it became one of the first cities in the South to have electricity, powered by a hydroelectric plant on the Rocky River. That pioneering spirit attracted textile mills and manufacturing that defined the county for a century.
Today, the county's manufacturing base has diversified into automotive parts, plastics, and metal fabrication. AnMed Health (now Bon Secours St. Francis) is the largest employer. Lake Hartwell draws recreation and tourism, while Anderson University provides a steady pipeline of graduates.
Anderson County's position on the I-85 corridor between Greenville and Atlanta gives it logistical advantages. The combination of manufacturing, healthcare, lake recreation, and affordable cost of living creates a steady demand for small businesses and bookkeeping services.
