Catering Catering
If you are a partnership means you are a business entity with multiple owners and thus you will need a dba and a federal ID.
If you are a service but you also use parts you will need a sellers permit also called a resale license or resale certificate to collect taxes and or buy wholesale.
Though raw food is not taxable prepared food is taxable .
so you need a resale license.


If you are a professional such as an architect or doctor you also need a professional license from the state.










You can choose to be a(n) Catering :

  • Sole Proprietor,
  • LLC,
  • Corporation or
  • Partnership.
    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.



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



A(n) Catering business doing business under an assumed business name in Tunica County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) Catering business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Catering & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

Also, keep in mind that in Mississippi though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number.  (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.


If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a MS Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) MS  State Employer Tax Number  


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


You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
 



If you do form an Catering llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Catering 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 Robinsonville business name. Instead of filing a Tunica County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in Mississippi or form an MS LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .

My plans are to start a catering business from my home. By doing weddings, Receptions, baby showers, birthday parties, and churches .

The meal will be prepared from my home and carried to the event venue. I will start out small and try to build my business by word of mouth.

It will only be myself to start out to see how i can make my business work my business grow. Then i will try to find a commercial kitchen or purchase a building and remodel it , into a kitchen that i would need once I succeed. Then I would need employees. That's the plan.



ANSWER: Hi Grendel, in Deer Park, NY, to start your catering business, you will first need to get BUSINESS licensing (as opposed to FOOD licensing).

In short, you need at least a business license, an EIN, a seller's permit, and then you need to register your business name "Simply Irresistible," with a DBA, LLC or corporation.

You can obtain all or any one of these licenses here online.

That being said, since you are catering, there are special regulations based on your location and local rules because food businesses are subject to sanitary laws.

For example, in Deer Park, NY, you will need to comply with sanitary laws such as this one in Suffolk County, NY jurisdiction: A caterer is considered a food service establishment and is required to operate in conformance with this Sanitary Article. SUFFOLK COUNTY SANITARY CODE ARTICLE 13 GENERAL FOOD REGULATIONS

Additionally, if you provide catering services as a vendor in a special event venue such as a one-day festival with food, etc., you will need a Vendor Permit and the Application fee is $95 (if the Vendor Application and permit fee are submitted less than 14 days prior to the event, an additional $70 late fee will be charged).

Finally, note that you may need a Surety Bond. A surety bond, which can also be called a performance bond, provides your catering clients with a guaranteed assurance.
Assurance that the services will be provided safely and completely.
Catering Quote: "Growing up, my mom had a catering business.

I used to help her pretty early on and loved doing it. My mom is an amazing cook, and she helped me cultivate a love for food.

She taught me that food can be beautiful. We eat not just for survival, but we survive to eat. It's part of whom I am". Kelis

Starting Your Own Personal Chef Food Business

🍖 Q: Difference Between Personal Chef And Caterer

Catering vs. Personal Chef Service Personal chefs may be chefs that provide catering. Catering is providing food which a personal chef provides. Since caterers prepare food for individuals, health laws and codes protect consumers. You need to comply with these health laws and then obtain a business license.

🔥The difference between personal chefs and caterers is that a personal chef does not deliver cooked food to his client. A personal chef prepares and cooks the food in the client’s presence in the client's home or place of business. If the personal chef delivers the food to the client, he must also obtain a caterer’s license. That means that the chef must use a commercially approved kitchen by the health department.

A: So, if you name your food business “Just A Tad Mouth Watering Personal Chef ” you will need to register the name with an assumed fictitious business name DBA filing. Since a food business is prepared food, then you must charge taxes before selling it – unless you sell it wholesale.

In either case, you will need a wholesale ID also called a resale license to sell the cupcakes wholesale, buy they wholesale or sell them retail in small amounts.

All food businesses need a re-seller permit because prepared food is taxable.

This is because any type of prepared food, is a taxable sales event when it takes place. Other than the food seller permit, you will need an occupational Business License and a filing of a fictitious firm name also called a DBA.
🍳
Here is how to get your Personal Chef Business License for your food business. First, you will need to food certified.

• Note: In some cases, you will not be able to cook from your house. If they does not let you cook from home, your best bet (only other option in fact) is to find a commercial kitchen restaurant that is health inspected and use it to cook, or at least get a paper from them saying that you will be using their kitchen to cook.

• Prepare your restaurant, food cart, street food vendor, or food truck for health inspection.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


Q: Should I consider forming an LLC?

A: If you want more business credibility in the business market, you may want to form an LLC instead of a DBA. For example, if your trade name is. deas XYZtch Melissa's Fine Catering and DeliveryCo. requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does. 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.

A limited liability company (LLC) affords more prestige and it helps you obtain business loans.

Q: I am just one person. Do I Need an LLC?
A: Even if you are just one person owner, you can form an LLC (Limited Liabiliity Company).

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 set up an LLC, will the LLC help me protect my business LLC from creditors?
A: Yes, actually, only an LLC can help you protect the LLC from its creditors especially if you have another partner member owner in that LLC.

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 is a DUNS Number?
A: Dun & Bradstreet is a business credit rating company and they use your info to inform lenders about how credit worthy you are.

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.
