Burkettsville’s small businesses and what their websites need

Mercer County has, among its employer businesses:

• 15 local trucking companies: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• 36 full-service restaurants: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
• 10 auto body shops: photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• 22 remodeling contractors: before-and-after photos, the areas you serve and how estimates work.
• 5 sporting goods stores: the brands you carry, store hours and an online store if you want to sell beyond the counter.
• 17 physician practices: office hours, locations and what to bring to a first visit.

County-wide, Mercer County counts 1,050 businesses with employees and 3,036 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Mercer County has three times the national share of trucking companies: 64 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. The county also has a strong cluster of metal fabrication shops (24 establishments, 3.6 times the national share).

Ohio and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Ohio sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross receipts greater than $100,000 OR at least 200 transactions in the current or previous calendar year (in effect since August 1, 2019). Am. Sub. H.B. 166 (2019)
