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.

Do I need a degree to start a home business in cake decorating?

I want to start selling wedding cakes and such out of my home, how do I get started? I have a high school diploma…do I need more? Do I need any certifications?

no you dont have to have any sort of degree of certification or to do that… my grandmother did the same thing for many many years.. and she was very successful at it. she did it all in her home so it always smelled amazing!! a couple of friends i went to college with are trying to do something very similar, however they are actually renting out space to have a store. thats a very big difference. granted, my friend’s college major was history education, but she is baking cakes now. so a course of study is irrelevant really, because basically can u make an awesome cake or not?? thats whats going to create and keep business for you.. clientele.

if you were to rent a space in a strip plaza or something like that, that would open up a whole different can of worms.. in that kind of operation, you would want to work with someone with a business degree or something similar because of course expenses would be much more complex than rather having enough eggs and flour in your own kitchen.. plus, then u would have to worry about having insurance and liability coverage on the place, etc… what a headache..

running it out of your home is a great idea, especially starting out. if someday your business explodes in size, then look for a partner to help. in the mean time i would get yourself as known as possible. put an advertisement in the newspaper, websites (like craigs list.com), mail out flyers, even put together a small catalog if you know how to. you want to get your first customers, and then more and more will come simply from hear say and good referals!!

good luck!!!
