Plum City’s small businesses and what their websites need

The Census counted 25 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 54761, which includes Plum City and its surroundings.

County-wide, Pierce County counts 788 businesses with employees and 2,899 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Pierce County has 2.6 times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 23 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Trucking companies are also overrepresented (36, 2.2 times the national share).

Rules that apply to a Plum City business website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Wisconsin rules as any other.

• Wisconsin does not require a DBA filing. A trade name or trademark may be registered with the Department of Financial Institutions for public notice; the registration lasts ten years and does not by itself create ownership of the name. Official source
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
