Entrepreneurs aren’t known for being lazy, but most entrepreneurs I know are notoriously lazy about doing legal paperwork. But there’s no place for laziness when it comes to getting licenses and permits for your business. It might seem like an insignificant detail or a waste of money, but it’s necessary.
I don’t think its laziness that keeps so many small entrepreneurs from doing the necessary legal paperwork to start a business, rather its an innate sense that the paperwork is a waste of valuable business building time. According to the article, there are licenses and permits that you need to be aware of on the federal, state and local levels. Make sure to stay on top of these — government always wants a cut of your profits, and they get mad when you don’t pay up on time.

Gee, doesn’t matter where you come from (me: Australia) small business is drowning in government regulations and paperwork ie: the dreaded red-tape

Paperworks were indeed considered a nightmare to all who work at any offices, it is really the fact then.
