Running a website from Allendale: the Illinois rules

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Allendale businesses:

  • Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Allendale, that means asking Wabash County and the Village of Allendale. Official source
  • Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
  • Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue

Questions from Allendale business owners

With 437 people in Allendale, is a website worth the money?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Wabash County counts 752 nonemployer businesses and 249 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Allendale is the point of the website.

Can my website list the towns around Allendale that I serve?

Yes. List Decker, Mount Carmel, Patoka or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.

Can the website be an online store?

Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; Illinois’ state rate is 6.2%, and local taxes may apply.

Is there a setup fee?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
