Exit & Succession Planning Capital Resources
Shop North Dakota is an online marketplace that is hyper-focused on selling the products and services of local businesses, helping customers easily shop local online. This amazon-like online marketplace allows shoppers to sort by community as well as purchase from multiple vendors with one check-out process. This site is available to North Dakota based businesses in good standing with the Secretary of State, and registered as ND SBDC clients. The only cost is the credit card processing fees - just like if someone were purchasing in-person at your business. Plus, it can integrate with certain existing online sales sites to help with inventory. Contact us to get started today!

FinCEN will continue updating the Reporting web page with additional guidance, so you can check in for updates. The FinCEN website remains the best source of information for businesses that have questions about federal reporting requirements. Here are some helpful links:
