The Problem
Regulatory compliance is a minefield for small businesses
You don't know what you don't know
There are hundreds of federal, state, and local regulations. Missing even one can mean fines, lawsuits, or losing your business license.
Compliance consultants charge $5K–$50K
Most small businesses can't afford a dedicated compliance team or expensive consultants just to understand their requirements.
Penalties add up fast
From $250 per missing I-9 form to $161,000+ per OSHA violation — non-compliance is an expensive gamble you can't afford to take.
Regulations change constantly
New laws, updated thresholds, and changing deadlines make it impossible to stay current without dedicated resources.

What licenses do I need for a restaurant in Texas?
For a restaurant in Texas, you will often need a Texas Sales Tax Permit, a food service permit, food handler training, and city-level approvals like occupancy or local licensing. Alcohol service usually adds TABC permitting. Exact requirements and total cost vary by city, county, concept, and whether alcohol is involved.
Do I need workers' comp insurance with 3 employees?
It depends on your state. Many states require workers' comp with even 1 employee, while Texas and a few others make it optional. If your state requires coverage, penalties can be severe. Even where optional, going without coverage can leave you exposed to major injury claims, so verify the rule where you operate.
What are the OSHA requirements for my retail store?
Common OSHA issues for retail include clear exits, required posters, injury recordkeeping when applicable, training around fire extinguishers and ladders, and preventing slip hazards. Exact duties depend on your setup and headcount, so treat this as a starting checklist rather than a final determination.
