You might also look for a small business development center or SCORE office in your area. Both are free to use and they can help you research all the legalities of starting your business. Did I say it was free!

Hi Mickey, Check out the California Business Guide to make sure you comply with specific laws and regulations, licenses and permits, and taxes. Are you running your business out of a commercial kitchen? Read more about food production and kitchen regulations in our blog. Since you are starting a food service, I suggest you check out our Food Service Business Guide for more information on employment and labor laws, taxes, and food safety as well.
