Come with an idea, leave with a business

Our Food Business Boot Camp walks you through everything you need to launch your food business in Houston. We provide individual laptops so that you are actively applying for permits and licenses as we go through our five hour session. You will not leave with more questions, but with tangible results!
During the first two hours of Boot Camp we will walk you through obtaining government licenses and permits that are essential to your business including:
  • Selecting a business structure and entity formation - should you incorporate or form a partnership? How?
  • City of Houston Permits for a new business and specific to food businesses
  • State of Texas Licenses
  • Federal level requirements
We will devote the next two hours to essential business processes and solidifying your business concept, covering each of the following topics:
  • Creating a mission statement
  • Identifying your target market
  • SWOT Analysis - an essential component of any business plan, analyzing your position in the competitive marketplace
  • Tools to establish your business presence online for FREE
We will spend the remaining hour in a question and answer session on the topics we have covered for anyone who would like to stay for extra help. Anyone who would like to leave at that time is welcome to do so.

Sound like a lot to accomplish in five hours? It is, that’s why we call it Boot Camp! Don’t worry, we will guide you through every step of the process. Individual laptops allow you to go at your own pace and included copies of the course materials will help you finish anything you would like to take more time with on your own time.

Personal laptops are welcome if you prefer. Individual outlets for power and Internet are provided at each station.
The course fee includes the use of an individually assigned laptop, parking and coffee service throughout the course.
