How do i register for my homemade chocolate business?

[William]

I love making handmade chocolates, so I wanted to change my hobby into a small business. So what are the laws or permits that i need to follow, as i am planning to sell my handmade chocolates?

For starting a homemade chocolate business, you need a Business license, a Food handler's permit, and potentially a Cottage food operation permit. The labeling of your food item must meet the standard set by the FDA. Check Local Health Department Regulations for food safety. Before starting a business, Insurance, Zoning laws, and Sales tax permits are mandatory.
