FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common licensing questions

Do I need both FDACS and DBPR licenses?

Not always. It depends on your business type. Most food-related businesses need at least one. We'll evaluate your specific situation and advise accordingly.

How long does the licensing process take?

Typically 2–6 weeks depending on your business type and the completeness of your application. We expedite the process wherever possible.

What happens if my application is denied?

We work with you to address any concerns and resubmit. Most denials are resolved with additional documentation or minor modifications.

Can you help with license renewals?

Absolutely! We handle all renewal paperwork and ensure you never miss critical deadlines for license maintenance.

What if I'm opening a food truck?

Food trucks require special consideration for both FDACS and DBPR. We manage the entire process including commissary coordination and mobile vendor permits.
