North Carolina rules for a business with a website

  • Business corporations, nonprofit corporations, LLCs, LPs, LLPs and LLLPs must register with the North Carolina Secretary of State before doing business in the state (Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, $125). Sole proprietorships and general partnerships do not register the entity. North Carolina Secretary of State, Business Registration Division
  • North Carolina files DBAs at COUNTY level: anyone – individual, business or legal entity – doing business under a name other than its own legal name files an assumed business name certificate with the register of deeds. One filing covers all counties, and up to five names may be listed on one certificate; the register of deeds forwards a scanned copy to the Secretary of State’s statewide database. N.C.G.S. Chapter 66, Article 14A
  • North Carolina has no statewide general business license; some activities need a State Privilege License, and cities and counties may require their own licenses or permits, so check with the city and the county. Official source
  • The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
