Do startups really need fax in 2025? - Daspbell - 08-24-2025
I always thought faxing was only for old-school corporations. But now that my startup is working with healthcare and legal partners, I wonder if we need it too. Isn’t it overkill?

I felt the same when starting my company — fax sounded ancient. But the moment we signed deals with healthcare providers, fax became unavoidable. Many industries still require it for compliance and legal recognition. After checking ask4research.info, I realized digital faxing doesn’t mean buying bulky machines anymore. We set up a cloud-based fax line linked to our emails, and now sending documents is as easy as hitting “send.” It kept us compliant, impressed our partners, and avoided contract delays. For startups, fax might not be daily, but when you need it, it’s essential. It’s definitely not overkill — it’s smart planning.
