Business Entities Online is the state business-entity register operated by the South Carolina Secretary of State's Office, Business Filings Division. Whether filed document images can be viewed free of charge is not stated on the official pages.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.

Public access
Not established The overall access position has not been established from an official source. It is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be open.
The South Carolina Secretary of State's Office, Business Filings Division is the statutory source for South Carolina, so an entry exists because a filing was made — not because anyone submitted a listing.
Current and in active use, not retired.
Limitations
The South Carolina Secretary of State's Office, Business Filings Division does not publish the terms on which the public may search Business Entities Online, so whether a fee or an account applies cannot be established in advance.
No official page states whether filed document images can be viewed free of charge, so the cost of reading a filing cannot be established in advance.
The register is not reachable from outside the United States.
The evidence establishes what the register is, who operates it, that it is current, where it lives and that the public may search it. It does not establish how the system behaves for a visitor: whether searching costs anything, whether an account or sign-in is required, whether a CAPTCHA is presented, what result fields or document images are returned, how far back coverage runs, how often data is updated, or whether /BusinessFiling/Entity/Search is the current search entry point.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
