What Wisconsin asks of a business with a website

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

• 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

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
