    You may also get fire inspections at a commercial location. Make sure you never have the exits blocked, merchandise is kept away from the ceiling and that your fire extinguisher is up to date. Get rid of extension cords. Get additional outlets added if needed or replace cords that are too short with ones that reach.

    Also, you’re place was probably originally built with an ADA/handicapped bathroom, Don’t mess with.

    Possibly PCI-DSS compliance for credit card processing. Possibly data privacy compliance depending on the state you operate in or that your customers are located in. Possibly sales tax reporting. Possibly insurance requirements for liability and workers compensation. Possibly 1099 forms for contractors and vendors. I’m sure there are more. Talk to your lawyer to make sure you understand the requirements for your specific situation.
