Minnesota rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Minnesota calls that an assumed name (certificate of assumed name), and it has to be registered first. Minn. Stat. 333.01
