Business Laws

Complying with business laws and regulations can be a burden on small businesses. To help businesses overcome this hindrance, the SBA in cooperation with multiple Federal agencies developed BusinessLaw.gov, an online resource designed to provide legal and regulatory information to America's small businesses.

Because laws and regulations affect every aspect of business strategy, topics covered on this site range from the most basic and crucial, such as choosing a business structure or hiring a lawyer, to highly specialized issues such as e-commerce and exporting. The site also acts as a gateway to federal, state and local information that affects small businesses. From the site, Business owners may quickly check zoning codes for their local area, or file a complaint with the Office of the National Ombudsman.

One of the main reasons small businesses fail is because they don't seek legal help at critical development stages. Learn more about the legal aspects of starting and running a business.
