For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Illinois rules to know before your website goes live

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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 Claremont, that means asking Richland County and the Village of Claremont. Official source
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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
