🌟 I came across a thought-provoking piece on permits and licenses for California businesses recently. One excerpt particularly resonated with me, and I believe it's worth reflecting on: 🌟 The article highlighted the importance of understanding the intricate web of federal, state, regional, and local requirements when it comes to permits for businesses. It emphasized the need for businesses to navigate these various levels of regulations effectively to ensure compliance and smooth operations. 🌟 One aspect that stood out was the emphasis on resources like the CalGOLD Permit Assistance Tool. This tool serves as a guiding light for businesses, offering a centralized source to identify and access crucial permit information. A true game-changer for simplifying a complex process. 🌟 The mention of Seller’s Permits and their significance for businesses selling tangible personal property struck a chord. It underscores the essential need for businesses to stay informed and abreast of the specific permits required based on their activities. 🌟 As I reflected on the broader context presented in the article, it made me realize the importance of being proactive and well-informed in the business landscape. Compliance isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about understanding the rules of the game and playing it well. 🌟 I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. How do you ensure your business stays compliant and navigates the regulatory landscape effectively? Share your feelings and experiences in the comments below! https://lnkd.in/d4uzViWr

California has taken a hard stance on drip pricing, a practice in which businesses advertise only a part of the price and reveal other charges over the course of the buying process. A new state #law that goes into effect on July 1 will outlaw such charges and allow customers to take legal action against businesses that use them. The law will affect several industries, such as the embattled #concert ticket market as well as #hotels and #resorts. #Restaurants that use auto gratuities, #service #fees and other surcharges will be affected as well

NJ small business advocate, TaxProblems.CPA, Host of Daily Tax Minute show, writer quoted by WSJ, Money Magazine, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, and NJCPA Magazine.
“I fought the law and the law won”: Yet another story about two new small businesses in local southern New Jersey that did not know how brutal the state bureaucrats can be when forcing compliance with what seem, to them, like arbitrary rules. Some of the violations charged were accounting issues, others were not. This is typical. I find that many small business owners and neighbors do not understand that the money and resources that the state spends prosecuting small businesses to bring them into compliance is such an overbearing force. We’ve seen it dozens of times. While many of these same owners may have found lax compliance in other areas like federal income tax, they are shocked by the opposite response from NJ state agencies. Usually I am not called to get involved until after the problem is under investigation. The longer a problem persists, the more difficult it is to address. In many cases the state is flexible at first but then ‘tightens the screws’ until the operator decides that it does not make financial sense to stay in business and operate under costly state regulations. Many small businesses have closed in South Jersey over the past three years. Others continue to operate only because the state hasn’t caught them yet. I represented some of the businesses under investigation. In fact I got a call from an outside investigative company yesterday. That owner got away from his problems with the state when he recently died. I see no easy answers. https://lnkd.in/efd-KPeb

New legal requirements in California and across the country will soon change the way businesses operate, especially those in the hospitality industry. The government seeks to eliminate the practice of “drip pricing,” which is when an advertised price is less than the actual cost a consumer will pay for a good or service after so-called “junk fees” are added. Sahara Pynes and Alexander Bogdan explain the potential impact of the law in this alert. #restuarantmanagement #servicefees #employmentattorney #hospitalitymanagement

As business owners, staying ahead of regulatory changes is essential to maintaining trust and transparency with our customers. California's new SB 478 law, effective July 1, 2024, mandates that all mandatory fees be included in advertised prices to eliminate hidden fees. This significant shift affects nearly all industries but has specific nuances for restaurants and third-party delivery services. What is SB 478? SB 478, part of a broader effort to protect consumers, bans hidden fees by requiring all mandatory charges to be included in the advertised price. This means no more surprise fees at checkout, ensuring your customers know exactly what they will pay upfront. Impact on Your Business: While the law covers many sectors, including event tickets, hotels, and short-term rentals, restaurants have a specific carve-out. If you clearly display all fees on your menu, you're exempt. However, third-party delivery services are directly impacted and must adjust their pricing strategies accordingly. Steps to Ensure Compliance: Review Your Pricing Structure: Ensure all displayed prices include mandatory fees. Update Marketing Materials: Reflect the total cost in all advertisements, whether online or in-store. Train Your Staff: Ensure your team understands the new regulations and can communicate transparently with customers. At SmarterSwipe, we are dedicated to helping you navigate these changes smoothly. Our solutions are designed to ensure compliance, maintain customer trust, and streamline your operations. We're here to help you adapt and thrive under these new regulations. #SB478 #CaliforniaLaw #BusinessCompliance #SmarterSwipe #TransparentPricing #RestaurantOwners #BusinessOwners #StayCompliant
