Wisconsin rules for a business with a website

  • A Wisconsin LLC files Articles of Organization under Chapter 183 of the Wisconsin Statutes, and a business corporation files Articles of Incorporation under Chapter 180, both with the Department of Financial Institutions. Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Corporate and Consumer Services
  • Wisconsin does not require a DBA filing. A trade name or trademark may be registered with the Department of Financial Institutions for public notice; the registration lasts ten years and does not by itself create ownership of the name. Official source
  • Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
  • Most businesses that hold personal information about Wisconsin residents must notify the affected people after an unauthorized acquisition of that data, within a reasonable time and never more than 45 days after learning of it. Wis. Stat. Section 134.98
