Paperwork and rules for Minnesota businesses online

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

  • The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed name (certificate of assumed name). 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Minnesota agencies, Stearns County, the city of Holdingford or an attorney.
