Can anyone tell me what licenses,insurance and misc. you need to open a cafe/bar and where to obtain them??

Answer 1

ASK A BAR OWNER IN YOUR CITY AND THEY WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW AND MAY GIVE YOU SOME SHORTCUTS - GOOD LUCK ON THE BAR .

Answer 2

Depends on where you are and what you are doing.

Beer and Wine licenses are generally easy, Liqour Licenses are another matter and quite expensive.

In Calfornia, for example, people can't dance at your place unless you have a license for that.

You generally need a business license, occupancy permit, fire inspection certificate, health inspection for food sales (which means you must have lots of stainless steel fixtures).

In a place like Los Angeles or New York this can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000

Insurance is going to be expensive. You need liability, fire, theft, water damage, wind damage. Figure on $500,000 to $1 million in protection.

That's going to cost you per month.

Answer 3

With a business like this, you will need an accountant. An accountant will know what licenses and so on are required in your town. An accountant will also help you with the proper forms for hiring, getting a federal payroll tax ID number (required) and other things. It's all a part of owning a small business.

Answer 4

The Administration of Hotels and Restaurants, in the state of Florida anyway.
