Some business establishments require a license while others require a permit. How and from where can you get your New York company license? Do you require a license or a permit? What is the fee?

Catering Establishment License

If you are planning to start a catering company or business then you will require a business license in New York.

Any place, room, or even space where food and beverages are being served and entertainment is permitted for an event will require this license. Such an establishment could be an LLC, corporation, general partnership, limited liability partnership, non-profit, S Corporation among others.

In such a scenario, you will be required to submit a “New York State Sales Tax Identification Number”, and a copy of “Certificate of Occupancy” along with the form for catering establishment license.
