This is far too complex for this forum. You really need to see an attorney in person.

That depends on a lot of factors. Where in IL is the business? Are you cooking the food at home? Who are your clients going to be?

You may need to get special licenses dealing with the preparation of food. If you intend to hire staff you may need to get a tax-payer ID. You should consider forming a corporation or other limited liability entity. There are a lot of issues.

I would be happy to sit down with you to talk about a plan moving forward. When you work out the budget for your new company, don't forget to factor in legal fees. There are also some good books worth reading. Please feel free to give us a call if you want to talk.
