We handle your licenses. You handle your business.
We bridge the gap between businesses and licensing compliance. Too often, compliance is handled by people who don't understand how businesses actually operate. We tailor every solution to fit your business, not the other way around.
Decades of licensing expertise, focused entirely on your compliance.
Our core group of attorneys and business specialists are focused entirely on business licensing and compliance issues. We bring decades of diverse experience from large law firms, government, private practice, corporate, and regulatory settings.
Our network includes affiliated attorneys and specialists who participate on an as-needed basis. We harness their subject matter expertise and work efficiently to access all the right resources for your particular needs.
As business needs evolve, we train new specialists and expand our licensing and compliance network to meet the growing demands of businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions.

I am delighted to recommend SLS for their outstanding services in licensing, permitting and merger and acquisition support.

SLS is an exceptional partner!
As the leader of Shake Shack's operational license and compliance program for nearly a decade, I've worked with various in-house systems, third-party software, and major vendors, often with mixed results. Partnering with SLS Business Solutions has been a game-changer. SLS uncovered gaps in our license portfolio we didn't even know existed and helped us achieve compliance while improving our processes beyond expectations. Their team is unmatched in dedication, thoroughness, and persistence.
