hi hanger,

if your drinks are packaged - e.g. packet drinks or canned drinks - then you're able to retail at pushcarts, subject to the management's approval.

if your drinks need to be prepared - e.g. brew kopi type - you need to get a shopfront that allows for f&b preparation. go to http://www.business.gov.sg/EN/Indust...rage/index.htm for more information to find out more. would require nea approval, etc

for Food Stall License - go to http://www.business.gov.sg/EN/Indust..._FoodStall.htm

if you plan to operate within a market or a food court, search for Food Shop License

good luck

uhm.. if you're gonna homemake the drinks, you need a workshop space, i think... you can't just do it at home.. but, better ask nea.

hi hanger,

Mystech is correct. even if it's homemade drinks, you have to produce them in a licensed premise (eg: shop which allows for F&B preparation, or a central kitchen).

you cannot produce in your house kitchen then sell it as bottled drinks.

oh yah, before i forget, other than the food stall license, you would need to register your business too (unless you're planning to sell in hawker centre stores. that only need food shop license).
