Businesses in and around Rives

Some of the business types in Obion County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Cleaning services: 6. Their website should show residential and commercial pages, how pricing works and a short contact form.

Obion County as a whole had 630 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,987 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 49 religious, civic and membership organizations operate in Obion County, 2.1 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; a good site gives customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Rives.

The legal basics for Rives businesses online

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

• 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)
• 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
• Local business tax receipts in Tennessee can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Obion County and Rives. Official source
