I started a week ago with family, and now plan on getting the proper approval etc. and will keep your notes handy. thank you, and please wish me luck. God bless

    I love to cook and create dishes and this has been very helpful to me. I've always wanted to own my own business. This will help me and point me in the right direction.

    There's nothing definite, no. Any business class is likely to help.

    If I prepare the food on the premises of a private home hosting the function do I still need a permit? Do I HAVE to have a permanent kitchen as a business address?

    How do I obtain a business license/permit in the State of Florida for a catering business. I am
    already incorporated -- had license and insurance in Virginia but find it difficult to obtain in Florida. Can you point me in the right direction. I am crazy passionate about cooking and creating cuisines from all over the world.

    Hi Kimberly,
    Now you need to start building your network of friends and recommendors. Any friend which has an event should come to you for catering so that people start hearing about you. Cast your net wide and you will catch more fish.
