Paperwork and rules for North Carolina businesses online
Some homework before launch:
- 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
- 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 Maiden, that means asking Catawba County and the Town of Maiden. 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)
- If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
