The Georgetown climate, from a business owner’s view

Precipitation totals about 44 inches a year, with September the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 83 times a year.

Delaware rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Delaware rules as any other.

• Delaware charges no sales tax. Instead it levies a gross receipts tax on the seller’s total revenue, at rates that vary by business activity, so the customer sees no tax line but the business owes tax on what it collects. Delaware Division of Revenue
• A contact form collects personal information, and Delaware has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. 6 Del. C. Chapter 12B (Computer Security Breaches), 12B-102
• The Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses (for-profit and nonprofit) that do business in Delaware or target Delaware residents and, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding payment-transaction data), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Delaware’s 35,000 threshold is one of the lowest in the country, but a typical small business still falls well below it. 6 Del. C. Chapter 12D
