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



    A(n) Food business doing business under an assumed business name in Waller 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 business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Food & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

    In addition note that in Texas you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.  (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 TX Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) TX  State Employer Tax Number  


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


    Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade 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 Catering llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Food 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 Brookshire business name. Instead of just registering your Waller County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in Texas or form an TX 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). .

    About Your Business Type

    Food

    “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” – Ernestine Ulmer

    Food businesses include: Restaurants, Fast Food, Homemade Food, Catering, Food Trucks, Mobile Food Vendor, Food Carts, Coffee Shops, Catering, Food Stands, Bars that Serve Food, Carry-out restaurants, Pizza Restaurants, Pizza Taco Stands, Grocery Stores.

    Q:Selling food from home. Meals include cooked meat, pasta, and veggies. Food prepared in a home kitchen

    ANSWER: Hi Alisa, yes, you can open a Deep Fried Turkey Catering and the good news is that catering from home is ok. Namely, Homemade Food (HMF) sales are allowed, but you can only make food that is not potentially hazardous.

    Operators can use their home kitchen to produce products to sell directly to consumers.

    However, keep in mind that homemade food sales by internet, mail order, consignment or at wholesale are not allowed.

    Regardless, homemade food is subject to sales tax, so you will need to register a seller's permit.

    That being said, you still need to register your business name "Uncle O"S Deep Fried Turkey," with a DBA, LLC or a corporation, get an EIN, a business license and if hiring a state EIN as well.

    That said, everything else is like any other business.

    For example, you need to select a legal structure such as LLC or partnership, and obtain a certificate for that structure.

    Selling food to the public in a food cart. Self-employed, at a location not at home. I am working on a location. Do I need licensing for mobile food?

    ANSWER: Hi Brian, food businesses need all licensing like any other business as described below.

    However, food businesses also need another type of permit or license, and that is a health permit.

    That means that after you apply for all licensing here, then they will ask you to get a health permit as well.

    That means that the city inspector has to come and take a look at whether the food and food service preparation and serving areas comply with current hygiene regulations.

    For example, your food premises or mobile truck, trailer or cart, must comply with the FDA Food Code, which is a “model” code (guideline) that provides over 3000 local, state, tribal and federal food control agencies scientifically sound food safety information that follows national food regulatory policies such as following four simple steps—clean, separate, cook, and chill, which can help protect from food poisoning.

    Here is a quote about food: "People who love to eat are always the best people." "Eating is a necessity, but eating intelligently is an art." "We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly." "If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...the people who give you their food give you their heart."

    That said, yes, you do need licensing.

    First, "Bite Me Main Mobile Food, LLC," requires the creation of 2 legal documents:

    One is the LLC certificate that has to be registered with an official article of organization, and the other, is the preparation and execution(singed and notarized but notarization not absolutely necessary) of an LLC operating agreement.

    You need to set up an LLC because the suffix LLC denotes that you are an LLC.

    If you don't want the "LLC" suffix, you have 3 more options for selecting your legal structure.

    So, other than the LLC, you can select to be:

    1. Sole proprietor,
    2. Partnership,
    3. Corporation.

    So, you may want to be a corporation with an "Inc" suffix or a sole proprietor or partnership without any suffixes.

    That said, regardless of which structure you select, you still need at least a business license and an EIN.

    That is not all, however. Because food when sold is subject to sales tax, you need to obtain a seller's permit that you can use to collect the sales tax for each sale and then remit the tax to the State quarterly or however the State decides that you have to remit it, which it could also be semi-annually or annually.

    The seller's permit can also be used to buy any prepared food, such as chips bags, or jars of food, wholesale. In most states, raw food is not subject to sales tax.

    Finally, hiring food workers to prepare and or to sell the food, requires a federal EIN and a State EIN as well because you need to remit and report employment taxes to both the federal and state government.

    Employees pay half of their Social Security and Medicare taxes. The employer must pay the other half.

    This means they pay 5.65 percent of employee wages for these taxes and withhold the employee’s tax and pay that as well to the government(s).

However, I am wanting to be a vendor at events to sell food such as fried fish shrimp chicken and fries what is all needed where I sell Mobile Food that I grow. I would like to be able to sell as a vendor on the street and at farmers markets. What permits will I?
    .

    Here is What You Need...

    Licenses and Permits for a Mobile Food Vendor Business

    • Mobile Food Vendor License - You will need a license or permit to operate a food truck or cart.
    • Business License - A general business license is required to legally operate in your state.
    • Food Service Permit - Obtain a food service permit that covers serving food from a mobile facility.
    • Sales Tax Permit - Apply for a sales tax permit to collect and remit any sales tax on your food sales.
    • Proof of Insurance - You must have commercial auto insurance for a food truck and liability insurance.
    • Fire Inspection - Your mobile food unit will need to pass a fire safety inspection by the fire marshal.
    • Commissary Agreement - A licensed commercial kitchen must be available for storing/prepping food.
    • Food Manager Certification - In most cases, at least one staff member must have a food safety manager certificate.
    Check with your local health department about permits and operation regulations for mobile food businesses.

    ANSWER:

    Hey Frank, looks like you want to join the foodie wagon as a mobile food vendor. Did you know that the restaurant industry is worth a whopping $799 billion dollars? That's a lot of cheddar! And with 1 million+ restaurant locations in the United States, you're sure to find your slice of the pie.

    But before you start slinging those burgers and fries, you'll need a general business license, a DBA registration, and a seller's permit. And if you plan on hiring some help, you'll need both a federal and state EIN employer tax ID number.

    Don't forget about passing that health inspection! You'll need to enroll in a Mobile Vending Compliance Program, which might require you to take a food handler certification class and quiz. We don't want any unsanitary food being sold on your truck or cart, right?

    But once you've jumped through all the hoops and hurdles, you'll be ready to serve up some delicious eats to hungry customers on the street. So, get ready to rock and roll with your Mobile Food is Good Food business!

    (Food Cart, Food Truck, Catering Truck, Ice Cream Truck, Concession Food Trailer etc.)

    Whether selling on the Mobile or from a fixed outdoor location such as a sidewalk, the following applies to you.

    I will sell prepared food/ice cream/snow cones etc. to people on the street.

    Answer:

    Step 1

    To sell food on the Mobile, you will need a general Business License, a DBA and a seller's permit.

    Step 2

    First, prepare your truck or food cart, and obtain a general Business License, a DBA registration if you use a trade name such as "Mobile Food is Good Food," and also obtain a seller's permit.

    Step 4

    Most Mobile vendors do not have employees, but if you do, you will need both a federal EIN and a state EIN employer tax ID number.


    Step 5

    After you apply here online for a general Business License, we will give you all the information and the government may also call you and set up an appointment that you will have to meet to pass the health inspection.

    You will have to go through a program that most governments have implemented called a Mobile Vending Compliance Program due to many complaints received about unsanitary food.

    The program may include a food handler certification program that you get after taking a short class and a quiz. Note that your cart or truck will also have to go through and pass a health inspection.

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Would an LLC be better than filing a fictitious business name?

    A: If you desire more business prestige for market presence you may want to set up an LLC. E.g. the fictitious business name (DBA) is . deKaneishatch Bee Pack'sCo. 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.

    Just recording an assumed business name does nothing to keep the name exclusive nor does it avoid personal liability for the business owners. Only setting up a limited liability company (LLC) will protect the name at the state level and also protect the owners of personal liability. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

    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: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
    A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

    Q: If I order a limited liability company (LLC) online how long will it take before I receive it?
    A: Normally we will have to wait for a corporate certificate if you are a corporation othewise we normally obtain it on the same day you order it.

    Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
    A:

    Q: What are the benefits of havin a DUNS number?
    A: You can use it to your benefit by providing favorable business information to make it more likely to get a loan from a lender bank.

    Q: Do I need to pay sales tax to the state as an LLC?
    A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
