Georgia and federal rules for small business websites

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• A trade name has to be your legal name or a trade name (DBA) registered with Georgia. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
