The legal basics for Hillview businesses online
A few rules apply to any Hillview business that sells or advertises online:
- Local business tax receipts in Illinois can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Greene County and Hillview. Official source
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- 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
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
Questions from Hillview business owners
Is a website worth it for a business in a village of 91 people?
Your customers come from all of Greene County, not only Hillview: the county has 215 businesses with employees and 729 without (2023). The website is what they find when they search.
Do we need to have meetings?
No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.
Can my website list the towns around Hillview that I serve?
Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Wilmington and White Hall included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: Illinois’ state rate is 6.2%, and local taxes may apply.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
