1. Business license: A business license for a prepared food concession MAY ask what dishes you serve, where you will set up, whether you use a cart, trailer or tent, and how many staff will cook. 2. Home occupation permit: A home occupation permit MAY apply if prep or storage happens at home, with common limits on strong cooking odors, deliveries, customers at your door and large equipment in the driveway. 3. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because prepared meals are generally taxable at the point of sale, and event organizers often ask for the number before assigning a food booth. 4. Mobile food permit: A permit for each cart, trailer or stand MAY be required, normally granted after it passes a sanitation check. 5. Food handler card: Anyone who touches food may need a certificate from a short food safety course. 6. Commissary agreement: A signed letter from a licensed kitchen where food is prepped and equipment is cleaned may be requested. 7. Equipment and menu list: A written list of your appliances and the dishes you serve helps explain how food stays at safe temperatures. 8. Employer registration: With people on the payroll, you MAY also need an employer ID, a withholding account and workers' compensation coverage before the first paycheck. 9.

The set to start with is a business license, a sales tax permit, a resale certificate for your wholesalers, a DBA for the boutique name and, if your living room is the showroom, a home occupation permit. Several partners together are best placed in an LLC.
If you order a business license and it turns out you also need another one, such as a home occupation permit, we obtain both for the service fee of the business license. The govt's annual tax and application fees are separate and not included; we find the applications and fill them out for you.
The first step is the company: form an LLC, then get the business license and the EIN. A general contractor license MAY be required for construction work, so we confirm whether your jobs are large enough to need it.
Your consulting is a separate line. Helping clients pick technology usually needs only the business license, but clinical services would need a professional license, so keep them apart. A seller's permit is needed if you resell equipment.
