Missouri and federal rules for small business websites

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

  • 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
