My husband and I are about to relocate to Florida. I want to start selling cake balls and brigadeiros (Brazilian fudge) out of my house (own). Do I need to have the home inspected by the city?

You should probably check with a lawyer or someone in Tallahassee, just in case, but, as far as I know, when you register the name of your LLC on Sunbiz, it’s already done, but a DBA is a separate thing if you are using a name other than your own without having an LLC (or Inc).
