Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Douglas County leans toward metal fabrication shops (31 establishments, 3.5 times the national share).

Minnesota and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Minnesota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Minn. Stat. 325E.61
• 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.
