McGuffey weather and a seasonal business

About 38 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 124 times a year. Cold winters mean heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

Paperwork and rules for Ohio businesses online

Some homework before launch:

  • 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
  • Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75%. Counties and regional transit authorities may each levy sales tax in increments of 0.05% up to 1.5%, and the combined state, county and transit rate cannot exceed 8.75%. Ohio Department of Taxation
