Bakery
The best thing about a Bakery is that you have fun while making money and making people happy.
After your clients taste your delicious creations, they are customers for life.
Of course, other requirement are not as fun, like getting licensing for a Bakery business.
As in any other business, including home, online and store business, for your Bakery, first, select your Bakery business structure:
- Sole Proprietor,
- Partnership,
- LLC or
- Corporation.
The above step is important business all documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure.
After that, you will need to obtain a Bakery business permit. 99% of all businesses need that. For example, even Martha Stewart needs to get a business license for the cookies she sells retail.
This is a general Bakery business permit that all new businesses must obtain.
Note that in the majority of the cases you do not need to obtain a business permit that is specifically for your type of business. You only need a general business permit.
In addition, all businesses must be identified by a business tax ID called a federal tax ID number or Employer Identification Number (EIN). If you file as a sole proprietor, you can use your social security number instead of the federal ID.
Then, a sellers permit is required if you sell Bakery items and merchandise wholesale or retail.
The seller's permit is also called state ID, wholesale ID, resale ID, or re-seller license.
If you are an employer, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.
If you do business as a name other than your full legal name, for example, you do business as "Best Bakery: cookies, cupcakes, cakes etc," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.
Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming a Bakery LLC. Setting up as one of these corporate entities allows you not to file a DBA. |
