Some homework before launch:

• A trade name has to be your legal name or a trade name (assumed name) registered with Iowa. Iowa Code chapter 547 (section 547.1)
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
