How big is the Snydertown market?

What Pennsylvania asks of a business with a website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Pennsylvania rules as any other.

• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Snydertown, that means asking Northumberland County and the Borough of Snydertown. Official source
• Any individual, sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership or other entity conducting business in Pennsylvania under a name other than its own real or proper name must register that fictitious name with the Pennsylvania Department of State (Form DSCB:54-311, $70). If an individual is listed on the registration, newspaper advertising is also required. Registration creates no exclusive right to the name, and failing to register can bar the business from enforcing contracts in Pennsylvania courts (54 Pa.C.S. § 331). Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
