In Bourbon County, the Census counted 363 businesses with employees and 1,018 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Bourbon County has 2.2 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 30 of them in the 2023 count.

What Kansas asks of a business with a website

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Uniontown businesses:

• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Kansas agencies, Bourbon County, the city of Uniontown or an attorney.
