The Holloway business count, sector by sector

Some of the business types in Swift County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Electrical contractors (8): residential and commercial services on separate pages, license information and a quote form.
• Insurance agencies (9): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Auto repair shops (9): the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Full-service restaurants (9): the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Swift County as a whole had 301 employer establishments in 2023 and another 638 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Construction accounts for 14.3% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of retail trade (14.0%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.0%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Minnesota and federal rules for small business websites

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Minnesota rules as any other.

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. 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
