How to start a home based business selling cookies ?
How do I start a home-based cookie business?
I live in North Carolina. How do you go about starting a business selling cookies from you home kitchen?
I know some places where I can sell them, but what do I need to do to be legal?
What are the rules & regulations for a home based cookie business?
I like the office idea.
I’m not trying to sell a bunch of cookies.
Just a couple of hundred a week for supplemental income.
I don’t have a huge kitchen, so I don’t want to be big time. I just want to use it as a way to make some extra money on the side. And trust me, if you had my chocolate chip cookies, you’d buy them!
By the dozen!!
You probably can’t. Your kitchen needs to be approved and so health inspectors come anytime for a commercial kitchen. They aren’t likely to allow commercial cooking in the home. You will probably need TB tested and to pass a quiz on food handling safety. Your homeowners insurance won’t allow it either, what if someone died from your cookies?
I know you don’t think they could but if you made peanut butter cookies and other kinds a tiny bit of peanut could get into your other cookies and someone die.

Join the girl scouts? Just Kidding you will need a health permit. A friend is a personal chef and needed to do the same.
It doesnt matter if you have pets or not, you need a food license (and permits and inspections and labels) … would you simply buy a food product from vendors without some form of proof of food safety, ingredients, etc??? Seriously… would you??? Get ahold of the SBA or SCORE for more information on the legality of selling food products and the need for business insurance. Stop thinking as a seller and think as a buyer!!!
