(Nasdaq: LZ), America\u2019s #1 online legal services company, today released a new survey revealing that 33% of small business owners say compliance requirements have prevented them from pursuing new business opportunities. The most often missed opportunities include expanding into new areas (46%), securing new partnerships or investment (44%), hiring (43%), and launching new products or services (41%).<\/p>\n<p id=\"news-body-cta\">This press release features multimedia.

They also reveal how compliance pressures influence confidence, risk exposure, and long-term growth plans.<\/p>\n<p>\nBusiness owners across the board are spending more time keeping their businesses compliant with a wide range of rules and regulations, including licensing and permits, contracts, tax compliance, employment law and everything in between. Nearly half of business owners report that compliance is taking more time than it did last year, with 32% spending up to 20 hours per month on compliance-related tasks. Forty-six percent say their compliance workload is heavier than one year ago, with 13% describing it as \u201cmuch heavier.\u201d Only 7% say it is lighter. What\u2019s more, half of all business owners expect their compliance workload to increase next year.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe stakes of managing this workload are significant. One in four small business owners (25%) report receiving a compliance-related warning, fine, or citation. Most penalties totaled between $2,000 and $10,000, including fines, fees, and lost revenue. For small businesses, this can represent a significant unplanned expense. Beyond paying fines, businesses also had to modify internal processes, update documentation practices, or implement new tracking systems to prevent repeat violations.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat makes these consequences harder to bear is that the rules themselves aren\u2019t always clear. Nearly a quarter of business owners (23%) say they \u201coften\u201d or \u201calways\u201d feel unclear about what their compliance obligations are. Part of that uncertainty stems from varying definitions and requirements across jurisdictions. When asked what would make compliance easier, owners pointed to practical solutions: one platform to manage all compliance tasks (31%), expert support or guidance (24%), and clearer instructions from authorities (24%).<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen founders are spending hours each month on compliance paperwork and one in four are facing fines, it slows small business growth,\u201d said Allison DeSantis, LegalZoom Lawyer and Senior Director of Product Counsel. \u201cAs regulations continue to evolve, small businesses need clarity, structure, and reliable support. At LegalZoom, we provide step-by-step tools and attorney guidance to help business owners understand their obligations, stay organized, and move forward with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About LegalZoom<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nLegalZoom is America\u2019s #1 online legal services company, transforming how individuals and small businesses navigate the legal system.
