Clayton County as a whole had 487 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,561 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Clayton County has 3.4 times the national share of trucking companies: 34 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 31 of them, at 1.7 times the national share. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Luana.

What Iowa asks of a business with a website

• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
