Faithfully Legal™ | Referral with Purpose
At Faithfully Legal™, we believe strong businesses don’t just grow - they give. This November, we’re inviting our community to multiply impact while helping others protect their purpose.
Watch our Founder’s Announcement: Faithfully Legal™ on Instagram »
Here’s how it works
If someone in your circle - an entrepreneur, nonprofit founder, or faith-driven business owner is ready to:
- Build a rock-solid legal foundation, or
 - Align their operations with a faith-based, values-driven vision,
 
you can help them (or yourself) take the first step toward protection and clarity.
How to refer
- Share this booking link directly: → Book a Faith & Clarity Call »
 - Ask them to include your name in the referral field when scheduling.
 - Once they complete their session and engage our services, Grace May LLC will make a meaningful donation in your name to a nonprofit advancing kingdom impact or community empowerment.
 
Referral Period
This Referral with Purpose initiative runs November 1–30, 2025.
Referrals received within this period that meet the criteria below will qualify for the donation program.
Let’s make this month one where purpose and protection go hand in hand.
Why this matters
You’re not just helping another business stay legally protected - you’re helping spread light, purpose, and integrity through commerce.
As James 1:5 reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God.”
We believe wisdom in business is a form of stewardship - and together, we can make that stewardship contagious.
A Note from Dian
Your trust means everything. Each referral you make helps another business avoid costly legal mistakes - and gives back in a way that honors both faith and excellence. Thank you for being part of this mission.
With gratitude and grace,

Building a Kingdom Business in Today’s Marketplace
In today’s fast-paced marketplace, it can be easy to measure success by profit margins, growth charts, and accolades. But as faith-driven entrepreneurs, we know that business is more than numbers. Business is stewardship.
A Kingdom business is one that reflects God’s values at every level—how we serve clients, how we steward resources, and how we make decisions. It’s not just about having a Christian label; it’s about embodying biblical principles of excellence, integrity, and compassion in the daily operations of your work.
How to Build Kingdom Business in Practice
Here are a few ways to align your business with Kingdom principles:
- Mission Before Margin
Profit matters, but purpose must come first. As Jesus reminds us, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). 
- Integrity in Action
Contracts, policies, and decisions should be transparent, ethical, and trustworthy. When your word matches your actions, clients and partners recognize something different—a reflection of Christ in your work. 
- Excellence as Worship
Doing things well, from client service to financial management, can itself be a form of worship. Excellence honors God and builds credibility in the world. 
- Faith as Foundation
Prayer, Scripture, and wise counsel should shape the way you make decisions. This creates not just a business strategy, but a spiritual covering. 
Why This Matters
Your business is not just a livelihood—it’s a calling. Every decision you make is a reflection of the faith you carry. Building on Kingdom values isn’t just good practice—it’s eternal stewardship.
This is the same approach I use in building Faithfully Legal®: every strategy, every package, every client interaction is shaped by both legal excellence and faith-rooted stewardship. That is what gives our clients peace of mind and confidence to grow without compromise.

New Regulatory Shifts Every Small Business Owner Should Watch This Fall
As we step into September 2025, a fresh wave of regulatory updates is rolling in—some designed to expand opportunities, others to tighten oversight. For small businesses, these shifts can feel overwhelming, but staying informed is the first step to staying ahead. Below, we break down the most important changes and what they mean for your business.
1. SBA Simplifies Investment Company Licensing
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is clearing out outdated regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This move streamlines licensing for Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs)—especially those focused on critical minerals and advanced technologies.
Why it matters: Easier licensing may attract more capital into small business–focused funds, opening doors for entrepreneurs seeking growth financing.
2. Expanded Small Business Size Standards
The SBA is also proposing increases in monetary-based size definitions for “small businesses.”
Why it matters: More companies may qualify for federal programs, contracts, and loans reserved for small enterprises. If your business was previously “too big” to count, these changes could pull you back into eligibility.
3. 1099 Reporting Gets an Upgrade
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) tax package:
- 1099-K forms must now be filed if a seller has 200+ transactions and $20,000+ gross receipts.
 - 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC thresholds will rise from $600 to $2,000 starting in 2026.
 
Why it matters: If you sell online or use third-party platforms (like PayPal, Venmo, or Etsy), expect more frequent reporting—but also less paperwork for smaller-dollar transactions.
4. Stablecoin Oversight Tightens
The GENIUS Act now requires U.S.-issued stablecoins to be fully backed by dollars or low-risk assets, with mandatory audits and dual federal/state supervision.
Why it matters: If your business accepts crypto payments, compliance and reporting requirements will increase. On the flip side, greater oversight could make digital payments more trustworthy for customers.
5. Federal Stance on Digital Currencies
In January, an executive order banned the issuance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S. At the same time, it directed federal agencies to draft a comprehensive digital asset framework.
Why it matters: While CBDCs are off the table, expect more structured rules on crypto and digital assets—something every tech-forward small business should monitor.
6. Subscription & Fee Transparency Rules
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stepped up consumer protections:
- The “junk-fee” rule (total pricing must be upfront) took effect in May 2025.
 - The “click-to-cancel” rule (making cancellations as easy as signups) will be enforced starting July 14, 2025.
 
Why it matters: Businesses offering memberships, recurring services, or digital subscriptions must update checkout and cancellation processes. Non-compliance risks fines and reputational damage.
What Small Businesses Should Do Next
- Check Eligibility: Review whether new SBA size standards open up fresh federal opportunities.
 - Update Reporting Systems: Adjust your bookkeeping for the new 1099 rules.
 - Audit Payment Processes: If you take crypto or stablecoins, make sure you understand the GENIUS Act requirements.
 - Review Consumer Policies: Update subscription and fee disclosures to match FTC standards.
 
Final Word
Regulation isn’t just about compliance—it’s about strategic positioning. The businesses that thrive in this shifting landscape are those that see regulation not as a hurdle, but as a framework to build trust, credibility, and long-term growth.
At Faithfully Legal™, we help entrepreneurs translate these complex rules into practical steps so you can stay focused on building your purpose-driven business.
