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

• A trade name must match your legal name or a trade name (DBA) registered with Georgia. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
• 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
