When starting a business, getting started on the right foot is important and this means making sure that your product is regulation-compliant. Why? Because it serves as an assurance for your consumers that your products are safe for them to eat or use, and it also serves as your protection from surprise FDA checks and customer complications down the road. But how do you get approval from regulatory bodies? 

Jim Lassiter and Brandon Griffin of Rejimus says that the process may be tedious but it’s a non-negotiable. Taking on this important step can make or break your business, especially when you’re looking for your business to grow and cast a bigger net in the market. And that’s what they do: they help their clients get the approval they need to further the growth of their business..

Tune in on this episode where Steve talks to Brandon Griffin & Jim Lassiter about the different regulations for different industries, why some products are not FDA or FTC tested and accredited, and why getting that seal of approval can mean so much for your business.
