Hi William, we can help you register for our Food Service in Lomita, CA, 90717.
Note that nonprofit requires a nonprofit corporation and bylaws as well as a tax exemption.
First,
thing to do is the entity tax structure selection. There are 4 main types of tax entity business structures, namely, sole proprietor, LLC , Partnership or Corporation.

You need to select one because you will be taxed as the entity type you select and also, the rest of the documents, such as the seller's permit, will be registered under the entity you chose.

That said, keep in mind, you cannot be the sole proprietor and file a seller's permit as an LLC unless you obtain an LLC certificate.
In your case, since you showed an interest that you prefer an LLC , then form an LLC .

Second,
Because Food Service is subject to sales tax, you will need to obtain a seller’s permit. So, for example, if you sell Food at $5, you need to charge tax. If the tax is 10%, then you need to charge the client $5.50 for the food.

Third,
Furthermore, note that all businesses need to obtain a business license.

Finally,
If you hire food waitresses and other personnel, you will need to obtain a federal and state EIN as well, so you can pay federal and state withholding employment taxes.

REQUIRED LLC LIMITED LIABILITY DOCUMENTS AND LICENSES
LLC Refers to the Legal Company Structure
The Food Service legal structure is selected during business registration. If you choose to be an LLC , you do not need to file a Doing Business As (DBA) Certificate. About 60% of new businesses select an LLC when choosing a corporate structure. For example, if you are the Food Service sole owner, you can file a DBA and so select the sole proprietorship structure or select the LLC structure to be a corporate entity because LLC afford corporate protections such as business and personal liability protections.

Thus, when starting a business whether an online, home, store, concession stand or a mobile cart, you will need to first select among sole owner/proprietor, partnership, LLC or corporation, all of which also require a General Food Service Business License (not a specific license to your type of business, necessarily but a requirement for LLC companies as well as necessary) for any business as well.

If you decide to be a sole proprietorship instead of a Food Service LLC , and the trade name is a business name other than your full personal legal name, you will need to file a Doing Business As (DBA) Certificate. For instance, if your name is John Doe, and you do business as Best Food Service Items By John, the name must be registered with a DBA Biz Name document is called a DBA certificate because Best Items By John is not your full legal name.

Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease, and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible items such as equipment, toys, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID (Sellers Permit) to either buy or sell the items or wholesale and sell them in retail. If you or your LLC are hiring workers within the next 30 days, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN (employer identification number).

Even if you treat the LLC as a disregarded entity, you can use your social security to conduct business, it is not recommended. Other instances that you will need a federal tax ID: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC treated as a corporation. You can also obtain a federal tax ID as the sole proprietor and use it as a business tax ID in place of a social security number.

However, all Food Service businesses need at least 2-5 business registrations, so you will still need other registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above. Finally, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form an LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA, and they will be members of the LLC .

I’m wanting to start my own food business and not sure where to begin. Hot dog vending carts selling hot dogs. What type of business license do I need for a food truck in Memphis, TN?

Answer:

Hi William, we can help you register for our Food Service in Hammond, Boone County, IN. The EIN is required but also some other licenses as described below:

First,
thing to do is the entity tax structure selection. There are 4 main types of tax entity business structures, namely, sole proprietor, LLC , Partnership or Corporation.

You need to select one because you will be taxed as the entity type you select and also, the rest of the documents, such as the seller's permit, will be registered under the entity you chose.
Since you are in a very risky business (for example, you can cause food poisoning and be subject to lawsuits), it is a good idea to incorporate or form an LLC , so you can be protected from personal liability.
That said, keep in mind, you cannot be the sole proprietor and file a seller's permit as an LLC unless you obtain an LLC certificate.
In your case, since you showed an interest that you prefer an LLC , then form an LLC .

Second,
Because Food Service is subject to sales tax, you will need to obtain a seller’s permit. So, for example, if you sell Food at $5, you need to charge tax. If the tax is 10%, then you need to charge the client $5.50 for the food.
The sales tax rate for most states ranges from 4% to almost 10%.
Third,
Furthermore, note that all businesses need to obtain a business license. There are several reasons that you need a business license, but in your case, the main reason is that part of the business license is the health permit that is in the inspection you get once you apply to obtain a business license.

Finally,
If you hire food waitresses and other personnel, you will need to obtain a federal and state EIN as well, so you can pay federal and state withholding employment taxes.

Good morning, I would like to know how do I obtain a license to buy food wholesale? I am planning to sell simple organic superfoods and drinks from a van - what licensing do I need for vendor Encinitas CA and for food in general? How to get a food license?

All businesses need at least 2-5 business registration, so you will still need other registrations, such as licenses, an assumed business name DBA, and tax IDs as described above.

In addition, even one person, sole owner/proprietors working from home or just online can form an LLC or incorporate, in which case, they will not need to file a DBA, and they will be members of the LLC .

Selling food requires that you get a seller's permit because you will need it to buy the food items wholesale and sell them retail.

For instance, you can buy your food prepared items tax-free and when you serve and sell food, you will also need the permit to charge taxes.

For example, if a type of super food you sell sells for $15 and the sales tax rate is 10%, you will have to collect an additional $1.50 for sales tax, so the total in this case would be $16.50.
