Relevant documents such as health certificate and food business license are required.

No matter what business you are doing, you need to have a license to operate it, so the first basic document is a business license. A business license only needs to be obtained at the industrial and commercial bureau of each district.

As long as it is an enterprise, no matter what industry it is in, it must apply for a business license.

Because of the particularity of the catering industry, you generally need to prepare some small documents to apply for a business license, such as health certificates, health permits, etc.

A health certificate can be obtained at a hospital or the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Because the health certificate requires a physical examination, you need to pay a certain fee.

At the same time, there are also fire protection requirements, which generally require a portable dry powder fire extinguisher.

The second basic document is a food business license, which needs to be obtained from the Food and Drug Administration.

Before the new food safety law was implemented in 2015, those engaged in the catering industry were required to apply for a catering license.

After the implementation of the new food safety law, the previous food circulation license and catering license were merged into the "Food Business License".

After obtaining the above documents, you still need to go to tax registration and apply for registration as a small and micro enterprise (you can enjoy the income tax preferential treatment for small and micro enterprises).

Small restaurants are basically small-scale taxpayers, and tax returns are quarterly. As long as they file and pay taxes on time, they will be fine.
