Before you build: what Oneida looks like from a business owner’s chair

The median household income in Oneida is $48,622, about 30% below the Tennessee median of $69,595. Customers who watch their budget compare before they spend, and they skip businesses that hide the price.

Oneida in figures

A web designer’s view of Oneida’s businesses

The Census counted 210 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 37841, which includes Oneida and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:

• Roofing contractors: 4. Their website should show a clear page on repairs versus replacements, the areas you cover and a contact form that works on a phone.
• Pharmacies: 5. Their website should show hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• Quick-service restaurants: 15. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Grocery stores: 3. Their website should show store hours, departments and weekly specials you post by email to us.
• Auto body shops: 3. Their website should show photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.

County-wide, Scott County counts 351 businesses with employees and 1,544 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). 16 repair and maintenance shops operate in Scott County, 1.7 times what the national mix would predict.

Tennessee rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• Scott County and the Town of Oneida may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
• Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, and a local rate set by the county or city is added on top. Tennessee Department of Revenue
• A contact form collects personal information, and Tennessee has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Tenn. Code Ann. Section 47-18-2107 (Tennessee Identity Theft Deterrence Act of 1999, data breach notification law)
• The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) rarely reaches a local business: A business that does business in Tennessee or targets Tennessee residents, earns more than $25 million in annual revenue, and either controls or processes the personal information of at least 25,000 Tennessee consumers while deriving 50% of gross annual revenue from selling that information, or processes the personal information of at least 175,000 Tennessee consumers in a calendar year. A small business with a website is almost always outside the law because of the $25 million revenue test. Tenn. Code Ann. Section 47-18-3201 et seq. (2023 Public Chapter 408)
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
