    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.

    I'M STARTING A BUSINESS AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I NEED TO OBTAIN A VENDOR'S PERMIT, OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE AND TO COPYRIGHT THE NAME OF THE CATERING AND PERSONAL CHEF BUSINESS?? I have an LLC personal chef business.

    We were told we need a Business License, certificate of occupancy (our office is a home office for the business) and I already have a certificate for servsafe. How much will it cost to get those forms completed?


    To operate a personal chef business, in addition to the health permit and food handler's permit, there may be other licenses you need to obtain. 

    Health Permit and Food Handler's Permit:

    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 . deBarbaratch LTS Catering Lick Tha SpoonCo. 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) . 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: I already have a tax ID as a sole proprietor can I use it for the LLC I am forming now?
    A: Forming a new type of entity of a business constitutes change of status for that business and that requires you to get new licenses and tax IDs under your name.

    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: 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: 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.
