I might be moving to California. So I was considering selling baked goods out of my home since the food law just passed in Cali. I was wondering if it's something where you just get your house inspected and can start selling right away or is this something I'm going to have to save thousands of dollars for? Thanks for any help!

AIf you will be selling directly to the public you don't need an inspection, but you do need to get a cottage food license with your county and a business license with the city. You should also get business liability insurance and write up a business plan before you begin.
