How do I obtain a food business license in the UK?

Answer

Obtaining a food business license in the UK typically starts with your local council. First, understand the type of food business you'll operate, as requirements might vary for restaurants, cafes, caterers, or food stalls. Submit a detailed business proposal, outlining your operations, facilities, and safety protocols. Ensure you adhere to the Food Standards Agency guidelines, which cover food safety practices, premises standards, and more. Attend required inspections and obtain any mandatory training or qualifications like a food hygiene certificate. Regularly renew the license and stay updated with local and national food regulations. Engage with our legal team for a seamless licensing process.
