The Ultimate Legal Checklist for Small Businesses in 2025

Is Your Business Ready for 2025?

Your 2025 Small Business Legal Checklist

✅ 3. Stay Compliant with Data Privacy Laws
Whether you’re collecting customer emails or handling sensitive data, compliance with regulations like GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act is non-negotiable. Non-compliance can result in steep fines and loss of trust.

💡 How Go Legal AI Helps:

• Perform a Business Health Check™ to identify privacy risks in your workflows.

• Use our automated tools to ensure your privacy policies are always up to date.

✅ 4. Prepare for Tax Season
Tax season brings significant stress for small businesses, but a lack of preparation can lead to missed deadlines and penalties.

💡 How Go Legal AI Helps:

• Use automated reminders for tax filing deadlines, contract renewals, and compliance requirements.

• Keep financial agreements and contracts well-organized with our document management tools.

✅ 5. Review and Update Employment Agreements
As remote work continues to grow, your employment contracts need to address key terms like flexible hours, remote working policies, and non-compete agreements.

💡 How Go Legal AI Helps:

• Access employment contract templates to draft and update agreements quickly.

• Ensure compliance with labor laws and include protections for your business.
