Sizing up the McFarlan market

Which McFarlan businesses need a small business website

Across Anson County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:

• 9 child care centers: the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
• 7 auto repair shops: a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• 19 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• 5 home health care agencies: the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.
• 10 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.
• 7 law offices: what kind of cases you take, where you practice and how a first consultation works.

Anson County as a whole had 380 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,479 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are retail trade (16.6%), other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.9%) and health care and social assistance (11.8%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in McFarlan.

Weather in McFarlan: plan the website around it

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Cheraw, 9.4 miles away, put the July average high at 90°F and the January average low at 31°F. About 49 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in September. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 65 times a year. Mild weather keeps outdoor work going most of the year: landscaping, outdoor dining and recreation stay busy for months. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.

Before you publish: North Carolina and federal rules

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

• The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
• North Carolina has no statewide general business license; some activities need a State Privilege License, and cities and counties may require their own licenses or permits, so check with the city and the county. In McFarlan, that means asking Anson County and the Town of McFarlan. Official source
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
