Gusto launches new features to simplify small business setup and operations
What happened
Gusto announced new products and features during its Fall Showcase on October 22, 2026, aimed at small businesses. These additions allow owners to form an LLC and open a business bank account within the platform. The company also expanded its tools for compliance, including Gusto Business Compliance, which handles state tax registration and annual report filing.
Why it matters
Gusto is expanding its services to cover the entire lifecycle of a small business, from initial setup to ongoing payroll and compliance. This comprehensive approach positions Gusto as a full-service platform, potentially increasing competition in the payroll and HR solutions industry. Furthermore, American Express is planning to integrate Gusto's services into its operations as part of a new payroll solution.
