Local competition in Henning

• Physician practices, 7 in the count. What works online: office hours, locations and what to bring to a first visit.

Before you publish: Tennessee and federal rules

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to many Henning businesses:

• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. 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 Henning, that means asking Lauderdale County and the Town of Henning. Official source
• 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
