Singapore Food Agency (SFA) Licence
Hello, valued Food and Beverage (F&B) business entrepreneur, you’re probably here as you might have heard about Singapore’s F&B industry being subject to strict regulatory requirements.
These strict regulatory requirements comprise of complying with Singapore Food Act’s food safety, hygiene and licensing regulations. Not forgetting to mention how you will need to secure your desired location as authorities will inspect the premises before granting approval.
This is all in hopes of securing yourself with a Food Shop Licence or Food Stall Licence issued by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) which can take multiple tries. Under the Environmental Public Health Act, if you run a food shop without either of the Licences you can be fined.
All this sounds like a painstakingly meticulous endeavour or an arduous journey, and what is even worse is it might seem that there is no end in sight.
Our Purpose
That is where we come in. There is no need to worry when Dyson Trading has your back. If your business dream involves opening a cafe, restaurant, coffee shop, food court, canteen, snack and drink counter, market produce shop, private market, food caterer, pet-friendly food shops and more, Dyson can walk with you and assist you every step of the way.
Here at Dyson, we provide services for numerous business owners to apply for the Food Shop Licence or Food Stall Licence. The first thing we need to do is establish which type of Licence you need: Food Shop Licence or Food Stall Licence? Food Shops are usually stand alone establishments such as restaurants, KTVs and cafes that provide sit-in or takeaway options while Food Stalls are usually located within kopitiams, canteens or hawker centres.
Documents & Information
As with most applications, a compilation of various relevant documents are needed. Upon looking at the long list of documents, the task of compiling them together can appear very daunting even for the seasoned business owners. That is why it is important to have our dedicated team, guiding you through the meticulous preparation and arrangement of the entire process for all the essential documents. Just as you count on us for our advice and assistance, it will be up to you to furnish/retrieve these documents, while we handle the rest.
Once all essential documents are collected, they will need to be submitted online through the GoBusiness Licensing Portal. Once your application is reviewed, SFA will get in touch with you for the next step in around 5 working days.
SFA Inspection
While your application is being reviewed our team will conduct a pre inspection of your F&B site to ensure your desired location is in compliance with SFA’s inspection standards.
This is because in the next step of the process, SFA officers will go directly to your F&B site and check if your site is up to code for conditions such as the layout you provided through the GoBusiness portal, proper food washing facilities, food storage spaces, appropriate exhaust, waste removal systems and other requirements.
With our pre-inspection, you can be rest assured that we have fully taken care of everything.
Other Services to Consider
Other than SFA licensing, F&B businesses also seek out renovation works & engagement of a Contractor. It is tough to look out for a reliable contractor who has had years of experience.
