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You've spent hours digging through outdated PDFs on your county website.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. RegPulse 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.

Can I sell homemade jam at my front door in Portland, OR?

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.

Your Checklist

Labels with your name, address, and "Made in a Home Kitchen" statement
