You will need to determine your predominant mode of sales. You need to determine which type of sales will make up most of your business. If retail sales (to consumers, online, etc.) will be 50% or more of your total sales, you’ll need a Retail Food Broker license. If wholesale sales (to other businesses) will be 50% or more, you’ll need a Wholesale Food Broker license. If you're unsure, contact the MDA licensing liaison for help.
