Small business websites in Simpson: the local business mix
Across Johnson County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:
- Site preparation contractors (5): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
- Insurance agencies (5): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
- Full-service restaurants (7): the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
Across Johnson County, County Business Patterns counted 175 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 797 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Johnson County leans toward specialty trade contractors (17 establishments, 1.6 times the national share). In that business, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, and the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form.

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Simpson businesses:
- The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed business name. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405
- 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 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 Simpson, that means asking Johnson County and the Village of Simpson. Official source
