How to start a food truck business in New Hampshire.
Damian Roberti, founder and CEO of marketing food online, explains what you need to get started. Some cities and counties do have variations on permits and licenses, but the bulk of what I'm about to tell you is pretty much what you're gonna need. Most states require some entity status like a C Corp SCOR for LLCs but at LLCs it costs a lot less. I've been a food entrepreneur for over a decade, 12 years, actually, my wife and I operate our own food business.
And normally most food truck businesses kind of like our business, actually, my wife and I started it and we still run it ourselves. You need to get a business license, of course, a simple business license from the city that you're gonna operate in. You need to double check with your city on that. If you cross over those lines, you're technically operating a business in your entity, in another city or county. That food truck is your actual business, and you need to make sure everyone has a valid driver's license in order to operate it.
You have to get a sellers permit and a food handler's permit to drive a food truck. Some states don't have any taxes based upon the types of foods and even food in general. You're bringing together ingredients, bringing together proteins, meats, whatever it may be. You don't need to be paying sales tax when you buy your ingredients. You'll also have to pay for your health department permit, which can cost anywhere from about a hundred to about $150.
The fire department, like any other type of restaurant is actually gonna come in and double check your, your actual food truck and make sure everything's wired correctly. Most states and including New Hampshire will also require a commissary letter of agreement for the food truck to be designated to use. If you're gonna start a food truck in New Hampshire, I just gave you nine really great tips and information to help you out. You may actually need to have a commissary letter of agreement. Some places will charge you a little bit extra fee, but it's a great safe way to park your food truck and leave it there for the day.
