Catering business

K4mil

Hello everybody. I hope I put this thread in a right place.
I'm planning to open a food/catering business. My wife is a brilliant cook so we have an idea to produce meals at home and sell it via social media/website.
So far I know that to cook at kitchen at home I need to register my business at City Council (which I already did). Could you please advice mi what else do I need to do?
I am self-employed now so I ll just add another trade but is there anything else I need to do/register to prepare and sell food legally?
Many thanks!!

Get in touch with your local chamber of commerce, because they will give you loads of advice on finance, grants, business plans, marketing, and will probably hold regular business meetings where you can network.
