Do I need a license to start my own catering business?

I am trying to start my own catering business for small parties out of my Oak Lawn apartment and I would like to know do I need a license of some sort in the state of Illinois or in the city of Oak Lawn to do so?

Answers:
I'm not familiar with Illinois law, but you may need to pass a commercial health inspection for your kitchen. It's not hard to pass, but there are very specific requirements about the way dishes are cleaned and stored such that the average kitchen would not pass, even if you keep it really clean.
yep, how else can uncle sam take your money?
In most cities, you would need an occupational license. In Florida, you also need a license with the Division of Hotels and Restaurants and are subject to periodic inspections by them.

Requirements vary by state so check with your state's Department of Business and Professional
Regulation or do a Google search for "catering license" and your state's name.
