Summary

Now that you're all wrapped up...

The red tape of starting and running a business can seem overwhelming and endless. The key to managing red tape is knowledge, preparation and organization. If you know what you need to do, when you need to do it and how, you can keep regulations from choking your entrepreneurial energy. And whenever it gets too complicated, remember that help is available.

All local, state and federal agencies which enforce regulations provide information and assistance to help you comply with their regulations. Business advisors, such as your accountant, attorney or a consultant from one of the numerous business assistance groups, can help you to plan for and meet the challenge of red tape.
