The legal basics for Marvell businesses online
Some homework before launch:
- Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
- 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
