Before you publish: Georgia and federal rules

These are some of the Georgia and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
• A Georgia trade name is not a state filing: it is registered with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the business is located, and the registration must be published in the local legal newspaper once a week for two consecutive weeks. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

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