Im wanting to start my own cake decorating business. Right now Im going to have to start in my own home in my small kitchen. How do I go about making things legal? Thanks..--Answer1:There wont be any legal issues for you. You might want to call the City Treasurer and ask if you need a license or if you have to pay any city tax(you wont but they appreciate the call in case someone calls them to ask about you- they will already know). You wont have any employees in the beginning. That makes life easy.Call a reporter for the local newspaper and ask if she will interview you. The Saturday paper is a slow news day. If that works offer to appear on the tv station morning show at 6am. Bring some cakes...--Answer2:I believe you do not have to pay any taxes or sort of...legal issues yet.
