• 6 local trucking companies: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• 5 site preparation contractors: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.

Jasper County as a whole had 226 employer establishments in 2023 and another 801 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Jasper County has about five times the national share of nondurable goods wholesalers: 17 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, so the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. Next on the list: trucking companies, 22 of them, at about five times the national share.

Running a website from Hidalgo: the Illinois rules

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

• 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 Hidalgo, that means asking Jasper County and the Village of Hidalgo. 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
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
