    In CA, if you are making more that $500 per month and advertising your services, you need a small business license and permits for each county or city you provide your services for. And a county food handlers card or just get a national card from Serve Safe. Check your county and/ or city websites for office references to get the licenses and permits. If you are in the Inland Empire, shoot me a message. pena.emiliano@gmail.com

    I am looking forward to starting a mobile bar tender business in NC. What licensing do I need? I want to start out with family and friends and their referrals first. What will I need if I want to do private venues and corporate events later on when I am successful?
