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

• A contact form collects personal information, and North Carolina has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Identity Theft Protection Act, N.C.G.S. Chapter 75, Article 2A (including §§ 75-61 and 75-65)
• Check with both Union County and the Village of Lake Park about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; North Carolina’s is Gross sales in excess of $100,000 sourced to North Carolina in the previous or current calendar year, including marketplace-facilitated sales. The old 200-transaction test was REPEALED (2024).
