Which Madison businesses need a small business website

Madison shares ZIP code 13402 with the surrounding area, where 21 employer businesses were counted in 2023.

Madison County as a whole had 1,328 employer establishments in 2023 and another 4,588 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Madison County leans toward homebuilders and building contractors (64 establishments, 1.6 times the national share). For them, buyers compare builders for months before they sign, and the website should show finished homes by project, the steps of building with you and the areas you build in.

New York rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to many Madison businesses:

• The New York State sales tax rate is 4%; cities, counties and school districts add local rates (roughly 3% to 4.75%), plus an extra 0.375% inside the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect New York sales tax once they reach the state threshold: BOTH tests must be met in the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters: cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property delivered into New York exceeded $500,000 AND more than 100 such sales.
