Trenton weather and a seasonal business

Trenton weather, in normals: July highs around 90°F, January lows around 32°F, measured at Richlands, 13 miles away (1991-2020). About 55 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 69 times a year. Wet seasons mean roof leaks and water damage, and the searches come in the same hour the water does. A website that changes with the season help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Sizing up the Trenton market

North Carolina and federal rules for small business websites

A few rules apply to any Trenton 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 Trenton, that means asking Jones County and the Town of Trenton. Official source
• 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)
• 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)

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
