does anyone recommend doing a Kickstarter or a gofundme to help their business out? Heck maybe even a Patreon, I’m not sure.

Johnathan started the topic buisness partners in the forum New York 2 years, 4 months ago
I’m trying to understand things like selling online and identifying my brand but I keep hesitating on going further because I’m worried I’m going to set something up wrong or won’t be able to respond to customers the right way. I just wanna make and sell without worry, but I feel overwhelmed, I have family members, but their level of home-business…[Read more]

Hi Jonathan, I don’t typically recommend getting an LLC unless you are hiring employees that you don’t know well. You will likely need to get FLIP insurance to sell at events and fairs, and that is the lowest cost insurance option I’m aware of.

excited to have a place to ask questions and bounce ideas off fellow NYers. I am from Long Island and live in an incorporated village. Someone told me to double check their rules as well, so I went onto the village website and didn’t see anything. I am afraid to call and ask as that might put me on their radar.

I looked up FLIP and other LLC locations. It’s hard to decide the best one for my needs. FLIP looks more expensive while just the LLC looks around 100 dollars, which location would you recommend besides FLIP?

I would recommend getting an LLC to protect personal assets. For any vendoring situation you will also need insurance. I have FLIP insurance which costs about $300/year and you can add unlimited insured’s at no extra cost.

I’m looking at street events and fairs to sell my goods, but a family member suggested getting an LLC. I lost what video David talked about that so I could use a refresher: Should I get an LLC?

Hello everyone. How are people able to sell cake pops without being dipped in candy melts?

I am a little confused on some of the restrictions for home processing. I have a bread pudding that I make. Is that an item I can sell? It will have raisins in it. I also and not clear about banana pudding since it is not cooked and contains milk/cream.

Anything that requires refrigeration is not allowed. So you cannot sell homemade bread pudding and banana pudding in NY. See this section for more info: https://forrager.com/law/new-york/#food

Hi, all! I use my home kitchen to make cookies that happen to be made with cricket powder.
A seriously-major company just reached out to me to ask if I can make and ship a large number of cookies to various media entities, to promote a bug-related documentary they will be releasing in March. So, I would need to ship outside of NY.
I’d like to…[Read more]

Thanks so much for sharing this info, Lana!

It still floors me that NY doesn’t allow this. I think they are the only one. My guess is that people produce them and the ag dept turns a blind eye to it (if they notice it at all). I really don’t see why using a commercially-produced candy melt would be unsafe in any way. I guess there is some theoretical risk to melted chocolate, but candy…[Read more]
