Before you publish: Illinois and federal rules

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to many Goodfield 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 Goodfield, that means asking Woodford County and the Village of Goodfield. Official source
• 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
• Illinois splits the DBA filing: a sole proprietorship or general partnership registers the assumed business name with the county clerk, while a corporation, LLC or LLP registers an assumed name with the Secretary of State. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Illinois agencies, Woodford County, the village of Goodfield or an attorney.
