I am currently bouncing the idea of starting up a BBQ business off my thick skull. I have been smoking for some time, and have had success at it. My dream is to acquire a trailer that I can use during competitions, but also use to run concessions out of. Long term vision I would like to have a brick and mortar joint to call my own. I have already came up with a name, have a logo, made social media sites (FB & the bird), and am looking into domain names. I have been fiddling with a business plan off and on, and am really considering walking forward with this. I suppose I am soliciting any advice as to where exactly a good place to focus my attention to move this endeavor forward would be. Should I start looking into the health department, local government (licenses etc.) I have heard that an LLC is the way to go, but wondered about others opinions. Thanks for any advice...
