By now, you may be starting to be concerned that it will be difficult, if not impossible to keep up with the many government, state or provincial, local, municipal, and city rules. Fortunately, there is a way to stay compliant with all the various rules, regulations, notices, obligations, and laws that are out there.

The US government has a site called Business.Gov that helps your business navigate its way through the maze of state, federal, and local laws. This site is designed to help small business understand their legal requirements and to find the appropriate services. This is an official site of the US government that provides links to other resources throughout the federal, state, and local government. It effectively helps organize the resources that are available to make it easier on business owners. If you aren’t sure where to start looking for information on your issue, this is a great place to begin. Some of the items available at this site include easy-to-find links to information businesses need on topics such as taxes, financing, grants, state compliance, industry compliance, local laws, specific industry rules, and much more. This site is a fantastic resource for business owners and their employees.

Canada Business (www.canadabusiness.ca) and Industry Canada (www.ic.gc.ca) offer helpful information and links on their websites. On these sites, business owners can find information about taxes, laws, regulations, and permits, among many other helpful topics.
