How to get started with your business

Beyond The Kitchen

We like to think we make it as easy as possible to get your business going. Here’s a brief view of what to expect as you become a member. Remember - you will also have County, State, and Federal requirements that go along with starting a business. (See Below)


Start here: Boulder County's Guide To Starting A Food Business

Registering Your Business

There are many types of licenses that you'll need, the first are tax and business licenses. You may need to register federally as well if you are selling across state lines.

  • Visit here for: Sales Tax License For Boulder
  • Visit here for: Sales Tax License for Colorado

Type of Food Business Licenses

Depending on what you make, you may need one or several of the following:

  • Retail Food Handler License (if you are selling mostly to your direct customers)
  • Wholesale Food Manufacturer License (if you are selling mostly to another business who will resell your product. FDA registration is required for this and we can help!)
  • Retail Food Establishment License (if you are planning on selling as a caterer or at farmers markets, etc)
  • Food Truck License
  • Mobile Food Business License

Product Food Safety Certifications

Certain wholesale or retail (not caterer or food trucks) products will require special food safety and handling training or certification. 


As of September 2018 all Wholesale or Retail Food Manufacturers must also register with the FDA. We offer to help our members understand requirement for a small fee.


These generally include canned items (salsa), juices (Juice HACCP), Sushi or Fish (Seafood HACCP). Ask us if you have any questions.
