How big is the Leal market?

Businesses in and around Leal

From the 2023 county count for Barnes County:

• Insurance agencies (16): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Site preparation contractors (7): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Auto repair shops (5): certifications, warranty terms in plain words and a contact form for estimates.
• Quick-service restaurants (7): the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

County-wide, Barnes County counts 349 businesses with employees and 867 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Barnes County leans toward trucking companies (20 establishments, 2.8 times the national share). In that business, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form.

North Dakota and federal rules for small business websites

A few rules apply to any Leal business that sells or advertises online:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
