So, if my business name is "The 3 Maskateers," this name would be my doing business as name, namely the DBA. Hence, the saying, if you have a trade name, you will need to register it with a DBA certificate. What is a DBA form? A DBA form contains information about a trade name of a business at a certain address. For example, if your business name is Beauty and the Bistro for your bistro business, that name must be registered on a DBA certificate that is called a DBA certificate or a fictitious business name certificate. Why Do I Need to File a DBA? This is because a trade name is something not real, and thus fictitious that you thought out of your own mind. So, since it is a name that you trade under, you must registered to make it official and the public can search and find out who that trade name belongs to and who filed the form under what address.

What licenses and registrations do I need to start a home-based catering business in Manassas, VA?

Orlando wrote: “We're trying to create a homemade food service business from home, and we want to know which kind of license we need and where we can get it.”

Hi Orlando, congratulations on Linas P LLC! Home-style meals have real pull for busy families, office lunches, and celebrations, and happy clients rebook again and again. Here is what we will cover: how to structure Linas P LLC, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Manassas, then a quick recap.

In Virginia, a homemade food service depends on what you cook: baked goods and some shelf-stable foods can be sold under home food exemptions, but full meals generally require a permitted commercial kitchen. Many caterers rent time in a commissary or church kitchen to get started. You'll also need a Virginia sales tax certificate and a local business license.

What Linas P LLC needs

  1. LLC (business structure) – An LLC keeps business debts and lawsuits separate from your personal home and savings. If guests at a wedding get sick from a tray of chicken salad, an LLC keeps the claim against the business and away from your house.
  2. EIN (federal tax ID number) – You plan on 2 employees, so the federal tax ID number (EIN) is required for payroll, and you will also use it for the business bank account and supplier accounts.
  3. Virginia sales tax permit (seller's permit) – You will be selling taxable goods, so register to collect sales tax before your first sale. It also lets you buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it.
  4. Virginia employer ID – With 2 employees, you need a state employer account number for payroll withholding and unemployment insurance. It works like the EIN, but for state payroll taxes.
  5. Business license – Most places require a local business license to operate, including home-based businesses. Check the rules where Linas P LLC will operate in Manassas, and ask about home occupation and zoning rules if you work from home.
  6. Cottage food or home kitchen permit – Rules vary widely: many states limit home kitchens to shelf-stable items, while some now allow small home-based meal operations with a permit.
  7. Food permit and commercial kitchen – For full meals in most states, you will need a permitted commercial kitchen or a rented commissary space.
  8. Food handler or manager certification – Expect at least one person on your team to hold a food safety certificate.

By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a home-based catering business it is NAICS 722320 (Caterers). With 2 employees planned, you are already creating jobs in Manassas. That makes 8 items on your list.

Tip: Use a written catering contract that covers headcount, deposits, and cancellations so payment questions never become arguments.

To recap: Linas P LLC in Manassas, VA needs an LLC, an EIN, a sales tax permit, a state employer ID, a business license, cottage food or home kitchen permit, food permit and commercial kitchen, and food handler or manager certification. Handle these early and the business starts on solid ground.

Chiefland Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.



A(n) Food Service business doing business under an assumed business name in Levy County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) Food Service business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Food Service & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

In Florida you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit



Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.


In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a FL Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) FL  State Employer Tax Number  


Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Chiefland, Incorporate in FL  or form a(n) FL LLC
. 

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.



If you do form an Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Food Service business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Chiefland business name. In lieu of recording a Levy County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in Florida or form an FL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Is setting up an LLC a better choice than filing a DBA?

A: If the business market projection is a target fot the company you should consider forming an LLC. For example if the assumed business name is . deAshki Wigginstch kabob worldCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name. Nor does the trade name registration protects the owner from personal legal or financial liability as forming a limited liability company (LLC) . Our recommendation that since you need to pay a fee to register the business name, simply form a limited liability company (LLC) for a similar fee and get both corporate status and protection for the name as well as personal liabilities.

So, for instance, if someone slips and falls in your business premises, they can sue you personally if you are not a limited liability company (LLC).

Note that once you incorporate no one can register the limited liability company (LLC) name at the state level.

Q: Can I apply by phone and set up a limited liability company (LLC)?.
A: You can apply by phone but the best way is to just fill out our online limited liability company (LLC) form.

Q: Does an LLC without employees need a tax ID number?
A: An LLC without employees may not need a tax ID number but an LLC with more than one owner does need one. In addition if the LLC is engaged in selling taxable items such as clothing it will need a sales state tax ID number in addition to any other tax ID.

Q: Do I need to file a DBA if I form an LLC?
A: If you form an LLC and you do business as the LLC name, you don't need a DBA. For example, your LLC name is "Ultra Super LLC," and your business name is "Ultra Super LLC," you don't need to file a DBA.

Q: When do I have to change my limited liability company (LLC)?
A: You may have to get a new tax ID number if your status as a business changes. For example if you change from sole owner to a partnership or from LLC to corporation as well as when you buy a new business you need to get a new tax ID under your business name or individual name.

Q: How do I apply for an llc tax ID number?
A: You can apply for a tax ID number here online. Simple click on the order button - fill out the application - and submit it so we can obtain the ID for you .
