Services Food Service
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) Food Service :

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



Redford 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 using a fictitious business name in Wayne 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) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) Food Service business and you name it "Superior Food Service Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In addition note that in Michigan 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.


Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number. I.e., a MI Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) MI  State Employer Tax Number  


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


You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. 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.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.



If you do form an Services 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 Redford business name. Instead of just registering your Wayne County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in Michigan or form an MI 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). .

What Do I Need To Be A Personal Chef Catering


“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz

 
This category includes full-service restaurants, fast-food outlets, caterers, some cafeterias, and other places that prepare, serve, and sell food to the public for a profit.


I am starting a food service business with my husband. We are looking to buy a food truck here soon. Right now, we sell plates directly to the public out of the house. I do not have any employees and I don't plan on hiring any anytime soon, does that make a difference?

Starting Your Own Food Service Business
Before starting a food business, let us see what it is:
The food business has a long range of types of food operations. For example, it can be a business at home bakery or a large restaurant.
There is catering, bars, food trucks, hot dog stands etc.
All food businesses need a re-seller permit because prepared food is taxable.
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.
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.
So, if you name your food business “Whole Food That Will Make You Skinny,” you will need to register the name with an assumed fictitious business name DBA filing. Here is how to get your 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 and go with the completed Business License application to the county planning dept including fire and sheriff in some cases. These departments will look at the application and most likely sign it as ok.

What Do I Need To Be A Personal Chef Catering Bu


“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”


Then, • 4. Most likely, they will send you to the environmental and or health department to make an appointment with them as well to get your restaurant, cart or food truck inspected and issue you a health permit and a Business License.
• Note that in order to sell prepared food, you will need to obtain a Seller's Permit tax ID Number, a Business License application -- we will find, complete the application and provide you with the steps to get your food Business License.
• In addition, since most likely, you will have a trade name for your business, you will also need to register a fictitious business name.
Finally, you will need a federal and state employer numbers for employment withholding for your food handlers employees.
• Finally, you can decide to incorporate or form an LLC instead of filing a fictitious business name.

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).

If your business includes any items or merchandise you provide with the service you will need a sales tax ID to buy them tax exempt and sell them retail to your customers separate from your service. You sell prepared food which you must charge sales tax when selling it. That requires a resale ID or seller's permit certificate. There is no better way to keep track of your busienss expenses than a business debit or credit card. Note that if you use a trade name, you will need to register a DBA before the bank will open a business bank account.       Remember that even if a business name is your domain name, it must be registered with a fictitious business name. Today, all business need a website that has their information and contacts. If your clients will buy your services or products online, you will eventually have to set up a shopping cart either integrated with your website or separately.   Business cards may help you generate more business.

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 . deas XYZtch The TableCo. this company name as well as any other business name must be filed with the clerk as a trade name registration and that requires a filing fee to be registered.

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.

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

Q: What if I am a very small company? Do I need a limited liability company (LLC)?
A: You do not need an LLC. However

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: 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 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.
