You must register any new food businesses before you start trading.
You'll need to register with us at least 28 days before trading if you would like to start a business that stores, prepares, cooks, sells or distributes food.
This includes home catering businesses, mobile or temporary premises such as stalls and vans, and not-for-profit organisations.
If you move premises or anything changes with your business, you must register again.
You also need to tell us about any changes to the business such as a new trading name or if the business closes.
