Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Illinois rules as any other.

- If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
- Local business tax receipts in Illinois can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Will County and Homer Glen. Official source
- Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

If you have one, we use it. If you don’t, the domain is part of the plan: we register it and take care of the renewal.
