Kane County as a whole had 13,537 employer establishments in 2023 and another 42,203 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Kane County has 3.3 times the national share of machinery manufacturers: 110 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, industrial buyers compare specifications, so the website should show product lines, specifications, service and parts contacts.

Illinois and federal rules for small business websites

A few rules apply to any Virgil business that sells or advertises online:

• 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
• 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 Virgil, that means asking Kane County and the Village of Virgil. Official source
