Answer: Hi Erika, yes,  Staring Your Business in San Marcos requires  a business license for your Food in CA because it is a registration that all business are subject too since you may need an inspection for hygiene, i.e., health permit etc..



Your business name, "Kika Pika LLC" needs to be registered with LA Trade Name, an LLC or corporation because the public is entitled to know who is using the business name and at what location.



Finally, another license permit you need is the seller's permit Sales  Tax license because selling Food products requires that you collect sales tax with each sale.  For example, if you sell $100 of food, you will need to charge about

7.25% sales tax. The statewide tax rate is 7.25%. In most areas of California, local jurisdictions have added district taxes that increase the tax owed by a seller. Those district tax rates range from 0.10% to 1.00%. Some areas may have more than one district tax in effect.

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) food seller :

  • Sole Proprietor,
  • LLC,
  • Corporation or
  • Partnership.
    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.


✔ Biz License


Dallas Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.


✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) food seller business doing business under an assumed business name in Collin County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) food seller business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence food seller & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.
✔ Seller Permit

In TX you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN


Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number. I.e., a TX Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) TX  State Employer Tax Number  

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Dallas, Incorporate in TX  or form a(n) TX LLC . 

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.

✔ Incorporation


If you do form an Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your food seller business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Dallas business name. In lieu of recording a Collin County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in TX or form an TX LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
