Across Newaygo County, County Business Patterns counted 829 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 3,173 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Newaygo County has 2.1 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 65 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Fremont’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (11.5%) and retail trade (11.3%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

What Michigan asks of a business with a website

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

• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• 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

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