Go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a volunteer SCORE counselor. They will guide you through the process.

Do you have all the required health department licences and inspections? You'd need that first, so start with them. Then when you get all those requirements met, start making the rounds of potential customers (with samples).



Note that you'll be required to have liability insurance to sell to them - probably with huge limits on it.
