If a business no longer has employees, it may be able to avoid the following regulations:
1. **Businesses must pay taxes on employee salaries.** - Without employees, there would be no salaries to pay, thus avoiding payroll taxes.
2. **Businesses must pay employees a fair wage.** - This regulation would no longer apply if there are no employees.
3. **Businesses must maintain workplace safety.** - While workplace safety regulations are important for any physical location, if a business has no employees, it may not be subject to the same level of scrutiny or obligations regarding employee safety.
The other regulations would still apply:
- **Every business must maintain a business license.** - This requirement generally applies regardless of whether or not a business has employees.
- **Businesses must advertise truthfully.** - Truthful advertising is a standard regulation that applies to all businesses, independent of the number of employees.
So, the applicable regulations that could be avoided would be those related specifically to having employees: paying taxes on employee salaries, paying employees a fair wage, and maintaining workplace safety.
