Compliance Decision Tree Service + Audit Report

A human-led compliance assessment service where retailers submit their business model (product category, customer locations, payment methods, data handling) through a structured intake form. A specialized compliance consultant (EU commerce law background required) conducts a 2-3 hour deep-dive, maps their specific exposure against GDPR, consumer protection directives, distance selling rules, and payment regulations, then delivers a written audit report with clear YES/NO/CONDITIONAL answers on geoblocking legality and a 12-month compliance roadmap tailored to their operation.

SERVICE

27 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Replaces fragmented legal research and expensive hourly lawyer consultations (€200–400/hr, 10–20 hours) with a fixed-price, written audit that gives operational certainty and is defensible in disputes. Retailer gets a document they can show insurers, regulators, and their board—not just verbal advice. Consultant liability is bounded and insurable.

Target Audience

EU-based online retailers with €500k–€10M annual revenue; primarily fashion, electronics, and food/beverage sellers currently geoblocking or unsure whether to expand internationally

Key Features

  • Structured intake questionnaire (product type, geographies, payment processor, customer data flows, current blocking rules)
  • Live consultant audit call with screen-share walkthrough of their checkout, data policies, and order handling
  • Written compliance report with explicit geoblocking recommendation (allow/block/allow-with-conditions) and risk scoring
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Calendly or Acuity Scheduling (booking & reminders) Google Drive + Docusign (report drafting & e-signature) Stripe (payment processing) Airtable or Notion (intake tracking & decision matrix)

Original Problem

EU retailers struggle to navigate complex legal compliance for international customer access

EU-based online retailers face uncertainty about whether geoblocking non-EU/EEA customers is legally compliant, creating operational paralysis. They lack clear guidance on the intersection of EU consumer protection laws, data regulations, and international commerce rules, forcing them to either risk legal liability by serving international customers or leave revenue on the table by blocking them. Current legal resources are fragmented and contradictory, leaving business owners unable to make confident decisions.
