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.

• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Buckley, that means asking Iroquois County and the Village of Buckley. 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
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316

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