"HOME BASED BIZ ?'S"


          

I am hoping to start a home based business as my husband is in the military and this will not be a permenant residence for us. I want to start a home based bakery with delivery service. I am hoping someone can tell me if it is a MUST to have some kind of degree or certificate or if I can just start kinda freelance. My mom used to be in the biz and I leared alot of technique from her. I am also under the impression you have to have the name of your business registered before yuo can get licenses, bank account, etc., is this true? If anyone can answere my questions, my ears are wide open. Thanks and God bless

Sugar Lady

You don't need a degree, but you should get a DBA (doing business as) certificate (also known as an assumed name certificate). You can get that from the county offices. And you will need the DBA certificate to open a business bank account. You will also need the business bank acct to set yourself up to accept credit cards (should you opt for that).

What you should look into is whether or not you can legally carry out your bakery/delivery business out of your home. Some cities don't allow it. Some may require a license or may need to pay a visit to see if your space is compliant with regulations that govern the making and selling of food items from a private residence.

Again, your county and city offices should be able to guide you.

As a food inspector for a local health department I can tell
you that you are required by law to use a commercial kitchen.
Some health departments will allow you to use a church kitchen
if you also license it, but be aware that operating a bakery
or any other food establishment is hard work. I have regulated
food establishments in my local town for 37 yrs and everyone
thinks because they can cook they can operate a food est. Be
aware that you should contact your local health department
first, fire department, building inspection department to make
sure what exactly the rules are. These inspections are usually
of no cost and if you can get the information first then it
will save you a lot of time and energy. There are other tips
which I could give you if you want, just e-mail me as they are
many.  InspSG@aol.com
