Start Your Food Business the Right Way with Hands-On F&B Set-Up Training
Leave with a set-up roadmap, a licence and permit pack and a compliance register for your own F&B business, whether you sell from home, run a hawker stall or open a café.
Great food deserves a business built on solid ground. In this practical 2-day course, you'll learn the full process of starting an F&B business in Singapore, from choosing your business model and registering your company to securing premises, getting licensed and exploring the support available to new operators.
On Day 1, you'll compare the different ways to start in F&B and the rules for each, register a business on Bizfile step by step, learn what home-based sellers can and can't do, and find out where to look for premises and what to check before signing a lease.
On Day 2, you'll prepare your licence and permit application pack, get ready for opening day with food safety, manpower and delivery platform requirements, explore the ways to gain access to grants that can lower your initial capex, build your compliance and grant document register, and complete a practical and written assessment.

In this hands-on course, you'll learn exactly what to do, in the right order, and leave with a set-up roadmap, licence pack and compliance register for your own business.
