Do I need to apply for an environmental protection permit and a fire protection permit to operate a central kitchen?

It mainly depends on what your business scope is. In some catering, beauty and entertainment industries, besides repairs, many service industries need hygiene licenses. These industries basically involve some public health and population health factors, so it is necessary to apply for health permits. Before applying for an industrial and commercial business license, you must first apply for a pre-permit related to the business scope. For example, because some key issues related to each industry must be managed by some specialized departments, the industrial and commercial administration covers a wide range and it is impossible to comprehensively manage all functions. Even small taxis have to apply for a tobacco retail license to sell cigarettes. Some involve fire prevention, and some have fire protection opinions. Without these pre-permits, it is not allowed to apply for an industrial and commercial business license.
