What kind of businesses Eveleth has

Eveleth shares ZIP code 55734 with the surrounding area, where 109 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• 3 cleaning services: what is included in each type of cleaning, the towns you serve and a contact form.
• 3 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

In St. Louis County, the Census counted 5,360 businesses with employees and 12,853 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. St. Louis County has about five times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 308 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Next on the list: hotels, inns and other lodging, 129 of them, at 2.9 times the national share. 27.2% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 13.0% in retail trade. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Minnesota and federal rules for small business websites

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Minnesota calls that an assumed name (certificate of assumed name), and it has to be registered first. Minn. Stat. 333.01
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA) rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Minnesota or targeting Minnesota residents that, in a calendar year, control or process personal data of 100,000 or more consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or derive over 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data while controlling or processing data of 25,000 or more consumers. IMPORTANT: Minnesota also excludes outright any small business as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration (13 CFR part 121) — but a small business is still bound by section 325M.17, which forbids selling a consumer’s sensitive data without prior consent. So a typical small business is outside the act, except that one rule. Minn. Stat. 325M.10 to 325M.21 (Laws 2024, chapter 121, article 5)
