Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Local business tax receipts in Tennessee can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Lawrence County and Ethridge. Official source
