Being a "serious business" is very, very hard, because the world is hellbent to assign blame. Even most big business are not serious businesses in this sense (look at the cases that, to this day, are being brought to and won against big tech). In most cases, the outfall is relatively manageable. If you are less lucky, it won't be. Having run a couple of businesses and feeling the pain I still don't see how to better the situation. It's good that businesses are put under pressure, because if they are not, bad actors would run wild. It is bad that running any business, at least to me, feels like navigating a minefield, and good actors are negatively impacted by that disproportionally. Personally, I have come to accept that, no matter how hard you can reasonably try, with any business and at any given moment, there is a number of things that if somebody looked very closely, that would probably raise some red flags, because the cost of safeguarding against all of them is infinite.
