If you want to apply for a certificate, you need to have a legal business license first, and you must pass a certain audit. An enterprise whose license has been revoked can no longer apply for a business license within five years, and if it obtains a food business license by using forged materials, it can no longer apply for a food business license within one year.
To apply for a food business license, you need to submit the following materials:
1, food business license application; Business license of the enterprise;
2, the main food business equipment and other documents;
3. Apply for a health permit issued by the Health Bureau.
After these materials are prepared, the food business license can be issued in about five working days as long as they are submitted to the corresponding departments for application.
