Do You Need a Seller’s Permit?
Yes. If you sell candy flavoring directly to consumers or retailers, a seller’s permit is required to collect sales tax and purchase ingredients tax-free. Even if you’re just bottling bubblegum essence, it counts.
LLC vs S Corp vs Business Name
An LLC offers liability protection and flexibility. An S Corp may reduce self-employment taxes if your business grows. Registering your business name is essential if it’s different from your legal name—because “FizzFusion Flavors” deserves more than a sticky note on a mason jar. |
| What Is an EIN?
An EIN is your business’s federal ID number. It’s used for tax filings, opening bank accounts, hiring employees, and setting up wholesale accounts with suppliers who don’t accept “just vibes” as a legal entity.

Capital & Equipment Needed
Startup costs range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on scale. You’ll need mixing tanks, precision scales, bottling equipment, pH meters, food-safe containers, and a flavor wizard’s intuition. Add branding, packaging, and a splash of neon for shelf appeal.
Industry Snapshot
The global flavoring market is projected to reach $20 billion by 2027. Candy flavoring is a sweet slice of that pie, with niche producers earning $5,000–$25,000 monthly depending on distribution and product range. Sour apple and cotton candy never go out of style.
