The New London business count, sector by sector

Rusk County has, among its employer businesses:

• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (14): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Insurance agencies (17): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• Hotels and motels (8): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Home health care agencies (7): the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.

Across Rusk County, County Business Patterns counted 833 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 3,918 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. 34 oilfield and mining support companies operate in Rusk County, far more than what the national mix would predict. In that trade, field crews and operators hire on short notice; the website should give customers services by type, equipment, certifications and the area you cover. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Texas rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• A business that holds sensitive personal information must notify the people affected by a breach and, when at least 250 Texas residents are involved, must also notify the Texas Attorney General within 60 days of determining that the breach happened. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
