Guide
A weekly change check for small businesses
A short operating review for rules, costs, customers and suppliers that may have changed this week.
Check obligations and dates
Review the regulator or government source for new rules, filings, thresholds and effective dates. Save the page and the date you checked it.
Check costs and workflow
Compare payment, software, carrier and supplier notices with the process your team actually runs. Note the first invoice, customer or shipment that could be affected.
Turn it into an owner decision
Write one action, one owner and one date. If the source does not establish the cost or deadline, mark it as a question to resolve rather than guessing.
What this guide does not cover
The checklist does not provide tax, employment or legal advice.
