Keeping SBO compliance squeaky clean.

Every small business owner begins their journey with a first-step into regulatory compliance.  It all starts with some form of filing with a government body.  Whether it’s a local business permit in your city, or a fictitious-business name listing with your county, or registering an actual business entity with your state, or filing for a federal company ID number, you have just begun a long and winding compliance regimen that will be with you for the entire life of your business, and possibly beyond.

Depending on your type of business, you may face even more licenses, approvals, inspections, rules and regulations.  Of course, there are also tax filings that cut across all businesses around the world.  Falling behind or failing to maintain compliance on any of these can bring your business to a halt.

Everyone from Robocop to the Borg Queen in Star Trek to Cartman in South Park have said it clearly: “You Will Comply!”  So rather than fight it, embrace the idea of doing things the right way and running a professional business built for long-term success and stability.

Let technology work for you.  User-friendly software solutions can automate your filings and maintain a compliance calendar.  If you are in a highly regulated industry, subscribe to online newsletters and social media groups to keep up on changes in laws.

Even more important, make sure you have good experts in your corner.  The Triumvirate of a lawyer, an accountant and an SBO coach can help guide your path along the sometimes-rocky road of compliance – while potentially saving you lots of money in the long run.
