The Licenses You Need to Tame the Food Business Jungle

Strap on your entrepreneurial safari hat, my friend, because we're about to navigate the wild and untamed terrain of food business licenses. Brace yourself for a flavorful adventure where paperwork is the machete that clears your path to success.

The Big Game Licenses

  • General Business License: This bad boy is like the door pass that lets you legally operate your culinary kingdom. Without it, you're essentially a black-market chef, which is a recipe for disaster (and potential prison cuisine).
  • Food Service License: Think of this as your official "I won't poison people" permit. It's a solemn vow to the food safety gods that you'll handle ingredients with the utmost care and respect they deserve.
  • The Elusive Permits

    Now, let's talk about those pesky permits that are like the hidden treasures of the food business safari. Some of these beauties might apply to your adventure, while others may remain elusive and shrouded in mystery:

    • Food Handler's Permit: This one's for your crew, proving they know the difference between a salmonella soufflé and a perfectly safe dish.
    • Liquor License: If you plan to serve the sweet nectar of the gods (aka booze), you'll need this special permit. It's like a golden ticket to the world of adult beverages.
    • Sidewalk Cafe Permit: Want to let your diners soak up some sun while they nosh? You'll need this permit to legally set up an outdoor oasis.

    The Badges of Honor

    But wait, there's more! In the food business, certifications are like badges of honor that show the world you mean serious business. Here are a few that might make your taste buds tingle:

    • Food Safety Certification: This one's like a black belt in not giving your customers food poisoning. It's a must-have for any self-respecting culinary warrior.
    • Specialized Certifications: Feeling adventurous? Certifications in niche areas like gluten-free cooking, sommelier skills, or molecular gastronomy can make you the envy of your food tribe.

      After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.



    Palacios 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 using a fictitious business name in Matagorda 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) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) catering business and you name it "Superior catering Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

    In Texas 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 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 Palacios, 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. 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 Services 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 Palacios business name. In lieu of recording a Matagorda 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 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

    Catering

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

    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:

    Environmental Health Department

    Attend a food handler's training course. 
    Pass the food handler's test.
    Receive your health permit and food handler's permit.

    Business License:

    You may need a business license. 

    Food Permit from the Environment Department of New Mexico:

    If you plan to operate as a temporary food vendor, you may need a valid food permit from the Environmental Health Department.

    Additional Permits or Licenses:

    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 . deStephanietch 5 loaves and 2 fishCo. 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.
