County-wide, Mississippi County counts 737 businesses with employees and 3,183 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Mississippi County has 3.7 times the national share of transportation support businesses: 16 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, carriers and shippers need fast answers, so the website should show services, locations, hours and a way to request service. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Bassett.

What Arkansas asks of a business with a website

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

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Arkansas sales tax once they reach the state threshold: more than $100,000 in sales or 200 or more taxable transactions into Arkansas in the current or previous calendar year. Official source
• Arkansas’s state sales and use tax rate is 6.5%, and cities and counties add local rates on top of it. Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration

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