The compliance maze shouldn't be your problem.
But for most small business owners, it is. Here's what that looks like.
The Google Rabbit Hole
You've spent hours digging through outdated PDFs on your county website. Half the links are broken. The other half contradict each other. You still don't know if you're even allowed to operate.
Lawyers Are a Luxury
A simple zoning question shouldn't cost $300/hr. But winging it could mean a fine, a shutdown, or starting over. There has to be a better way.
Rules Change Without Warning
Your city updated its cottage food rules last spring. You found out when it almost cost you your license. Staying current shouldn't be a full-time job.
Just ask. RegBot figures out the rest.
Set your location once. Then chat like you're texting the one person in city hall who actually wants to help you.

Yes — with a few conditions. Under Oregon's Cottage Food Law, you can sell jam and other shelf-stable products directly to consumers without a commercial kitchen license, as long as your gross annual sales stay under the state limit.

Small business owners who stopped guessing and started growing.
“RegBot saved me from a $2,000 fine on my cottage food setup. I had no idea I needed a separate county permit on top of the state registration. Found out in 2 minutes. Absolute lifesaver.”

“Food truck regulations in Chicago are a maze — commissary requirements, event permits, health inspection timelines. RegBot keeps track of all of it. It's like having a compliance person on staff.”
Marcus T.

“I didn't know I needed a city business license even for a service business I run from my laptop. RegBot flagged it before I got hit. For $9/month it's the most practical thing I spend money on.”
