Missouri and federal rules for small business websites

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

  • 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
