If the retail location is a food establishment, then I’m almost certain that you can’t sell there, even though you own it.

I know you need a business license and you need to file taxes every month. I don’t know if they require you to get an EIN… usually you only get one if you are an employer of others, but sometimes it’s necessary for other reasons. You should ask about that when you apply for your business license.

As for your question about renting your house you might need to talk to your landlord to make sure having a business in your home is not in violation with your rental agreement.

1. Yes, if you are selling at an external location like a farmers market.
2. No
3. The label is what you attach to all your products, which gives the consumer info about you and the product.
4. You have to contact your city’s planning division to learn what the zoning requirements are for you.
5. Start simple and small, and work your way up from there.
