The businesses that compete for customers in Modale
Some of the business types in Harrison County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:
- Local trucking companies, 8 in the count. What works online: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
- Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 12 in the count. What works online: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
- Insurance agencies, 12 in the count. What works online: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
- Quick-service restaurants, 12 in the count. What works online: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
Harrison County as a whole had 338 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,127 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Harrison County leans toward nondurable goods wholesalers (27 establishments, about six times the national share). For them, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, and the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. Trucking companies are also overrepresented (26, 3.8 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

What Iowa asks of a business with a website
These are some of the Iowa and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
- A person who runs a business under a trade name instead of the owner’s own surname records a verified statement with the county recorder of the county where the business is conducted. Entities already registered with the state (LLC, corporation, LP) are exempt from this county filing. Iowa Code chapter 547 (section 547.1)
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
