What Illinois asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• A trade name must match your legal name or an assumed business name registered with Illinois. 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
• Kankakee County and the Village of Union Hill may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
