Any business that you run will be subject to rules and regulations. These rules will differ depending on what industry you work in, the scope of your enterprise, and the country you live in. There are more variables to this of course, but those are some of the mains you should be paying attention to.

However, there is no ‘if’ or ‘maybe’ about regulatory compliance. It is an essential part of managing your business, and providing a justified context for everything you do. So, ensuring your regulatory compliance is gold-standard means investing in it, and understand just why this is geared in the way it is.

Even experienced, professional businesses can slip up on this point if they aren’t careful, and can accrue fines, penalties and even a suspension in activity until the problems are resolved. For instance, a lack of compliance with advertising standards can cause an expensive marketing campaign to be completely banned. This happens quite often, as you might expect. 

So, how can we ensure this doesn’t happen to us? Consider the following advice:

Read Through Your Essential Regulations

While you may not be a lawyer yourself, it’s important that you are familiar with the regulation literature. Understand why you may need to implement certain policies, and how you can more easily train your staff in an accessible manner related to these measures. Understand how regulations intersect, from selling physical merchandise in your cafe, or what it would take to add a cafeteria to your offices. This information is available upon request from the national business authority, and how that corresponds to your specific state will be accessible via local avenues.

Review Failings Of The Past

It could be that you have failed to comply with the regulatory requirements before, such as our prior example of having marketing suspended due to false or misleading advertising. Pour over these decisions and understand the mistakes made, and consider case studies that you can learn from. To use an example, ASA UK have recently banned a range of advertisements from mobile gaming companies, as footage shown on social media did not relate to the actual games users were downloading. Reviewing these failures can help you understand just what the issues with certain pursuits are, and how you can deftly avoid falling into the same trap.

With this advice, we hope you can ensure your regulatory compliance is gold-standard form the start.
