The borough of Casselman in numbers

Who you compete with in Casselman

Casselman shares ZIP code 15557 with the surrounding area, where 62 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• RV parks and campgrounds (3): site types, amenities, rules, a map and a contact form for availability.

In Somerset County, the Census counted 1,647 businesses with employees and 4,651 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Somerset County leans toward wood products manufacturers (18 establishments, about seven times the national share). In that business, builders and dealers buy by spec, and the website should show products and species, sizes, delivery area and a quote request form. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Before you publish: Pennsylvania and federal rules

These are some of the Pennsylvania and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Pennsylvania calls that a fictitious name, and it has to be registered first. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
• Check with both Somerset County and the Borough of Casselman about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
