You’ve mapped out your concession trailer strategy. You know exactly what you want to sell and where you want to sell it.
But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your mobile business has the proper certifications and permits you need to operate legally.
Make Sure You Obtain These Concession Trailer PermitsThere may be some exceptions, but most food trailer businesses need to get at least these six certifications and permits to stay within the law.
1. General Business LicenseYour concession trailer is considered a business, so you need to obtain a general business license that covers your home location as well as any city where you might be selling.
2. Food Service and Food Safety PermitsAny business that prepares, cooks, or sells food – that means your food trailer – must obtain food service and food safety permits from their local county.
