I am from Kansas and would like to start a home based food packaging company. Can anyone tell me where I would go to find out the licensing and insurance requirements that I would need?

Thanks so much,

Pam

 

We have a page on our website that includes links to resources for starting a business in Kansas. That should help you with state licensing requirements. The FDA is likely to be your first stop for national food-related licensing requirements. You will need to consult with a local commercial insurance carrier for business insurance, but you should start with the company that writes your homeowners insurance since you are starting from home.

Good Luck!
