Before you publish: North Carolina and federal rules

A few rules apply to any Lawndale business that sells or advertises online:

• North Carolina has no statewide general business license; some activities need a State Privilege License, and cities and counties may require their own licenses or permits, so check with the city and the county. In Lawndale, that means asking Cleveland County and the Town of Lawndale. 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)
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? North Carolina calls that an assumed business name, and it has to be registered first. N.C.G.S. Chapter 66, Article 14A

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the North Carolina agencies, Cleveland County, the town of Lawndale or an attorney.
