Do web developers in Missouri need a business license?
No specific development license is required, but Missouri may require a general business license depending on your city or county. Remote developers serving out-of-state clients should check nexus rules for sales tax obligations.
What business structure should web developers use in Missouri?
Most freelance developers start as sole proprietors and form an LLC ($50 in Missouri) as they grow. An LLC protects personal assets from client disputes, especially important when building software that handles user data or processes payments.
What banking features matter for web developers in Missouri?
Developers need recurring billing support (retainers, maintenance contracts), easy international payments (for global clients), expense tracking for hosting, domains, SaaS tools, and hardware. AI bookkeeping auto-categorizes tech subscriptions and contractor payments.
How do freelance web developers in Missouri handle taxes?
Freelance developers pay self-employment tax (15.3%) plus Missouri state income tax (2%–4.7% (graduated, being phased down)). Quarterly estimated payments are required. Deductible expenses include hardware, software, internet, home office, and education/training. A dedicated business account makes this much easier to track.
