The FSSAI – Food Safety and Standard Authority of India issues licenses to deserving food businesses, those who comply with all hygiene standards made necessary for selling food. This license is your permit to sell food openly. Here are some benefits:

1. Make it into a marketing tool

Use your FSSAI license to market yourself as a leader in your industry. For home chefs, getting an FSSAI license is not very tough, but it is time consuming and demands time and effort. Once you have it though, it can work wonders for your business because you can widen your customer base by letting people know that you are now certified to sell food legally. Make your FSSAI license into a consumer awareness campaign that leads people to believe in you.

2. Legal Advantage

Investment leads to returns – if you invest in a license today, tomorrow it will yield returns in the form of legal safety and security. Having a license means you are safe forever, as opposed to running a business without one and then regretting because you got caught and now have to cough up a massive amount in the form of penalty. 

3. Opening outlets

You can be a home chef and yet be ambitious enough to want to expand your business to vaster horizons. To make this happen, you need a license. Once the FSSAI hands you the permit to run a food business, the sky is your limit. You can choose to sell your product pan-India, go online and get into ecommerce, whatever you want!
