Q: I WOULD LIKE TO SELL FLOWERS BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT I NEED TO GET STARTED
A: Carolina, You haven't said what quantity. If you are talking about small amounts (Like the ladies that walk along the streets in the Gaslamp or in Old Town) the police or code compliance won't bother you. Even if they do, then you'll have to get a business license (Starting at $100) at City Hall (202 W. "C" St) - Even if you are doing small arrangements at your home for offices or weddings. If you are trying for something larger, you are going to need alot of "infrastructure", like refrigeration, fresh water, signage.... So if you have a decent supply, you may just want to go the Farmers Market way. You'll still need a City Permit, and you'll have to pay a space rent - But you sell everything you've got and there is no more overhead. Also, don't forget, Kobey's Swap-meet in Sports Arena area. I am pretty sure that you don't need a city permit, but if you call them they will have the information that you are looking for. Good Luck! James in San Diego
