Paperwork and rules for Illinois businesses online

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

• 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
• 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 Henning, that means asking Vermilion County and the Village of Henning. Official source
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
