Sizing up the Greenback market

A web designer’s view of Greenback’s businesses

ZIP code 37742, which covers Greenback and the area around it, had 52 business establishments with employees in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 4 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.

County-wide, Loudon County counts 1,027 businesses with employees and 4,723 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Retail trade accounts for 15.4% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of health care and social assistance (13.2%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.8%). 16.6% of employed residents work in manufacturing, and 11.4% in transportation, warehousing and utilities.

Tennessee rules to know before your website goes live

These are some of the Tennessee and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, and a local rate set by the county or city is added on top. Tennessee Department of Revenue
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• A business operating in a Tennessee county or incorporated municipality and grossing $100,000 or more must register for and pay business tax, which is administered with county and city business licenses; the city business tax applies where the city has enacted it. In Greenback, that means asking Loudon County and the City of Greenback. Official source
