Paperwork and rules for Minnesota businesses online

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

• A business trading under a name that does not set out the true name of every owner files a certificate of assumed name with the Minnesota Secretary of State. Minnesota also requires the certificate to be published in a qualified newspaper in the county of the principal office for two successive issues. Minn. Stat. 333.01
• 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
