Small business and the regulation maze: There is help available!

Small businesses provide about half of the US private sector jobs, half of the non-farm private gross domestic product (GDP), and are the sources of most technological innovations. But instead of doing what they do best, small business owners have to spend an inordinate amount of time and money finding ways to comply with reams of regulations. In fact, it is estimated that in 2006, businesses spend over $1.14 trillion complying with these regulations, and that the government spends over $41 billion administering and policing them.

Fortunately, there are numerous online sites that can help small businesses comply with these regulations. Some are from private sponsorships and some are free, courtesy of the US government. Unfortunately, few business owners have the time to search for them. The following report outlines resources provide roadmaps for small businesses looking to navigate the regulation maze! <p>
