Paperwork and rules for North Dakota businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• A sole proprietor or other business using a ‘doing business as’ name registers a trade name with the Secretary of State through the FirstStop portal ($25). Registration gives exclusive rights to the name within North Dakota only and must be renewed every five years. Official source
• North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
