Is this grammatically correct?

The business, will need to abide by the rules, to ensure they are proceeding every task, in the right sort of way.

Have I used too many commas? I've put them where I would usually pause.

Also, another question about the subordinating conjunction. I know you can use a comma when a sentence starts with a subordinate conjunction, but not sure if I can use it- if it follows the independent clause. As you are aware different rules apply in the UK; I looked up online and don't know what rule to follow for subordinate conjunction, as there are mostly American English rules everywhere. Help me, you generous people.

I'd write it as:

'The business will need to abide by the rules, to ensure they are proceeding every task in the right sort of way. '

Do you think my method is incorrect?
