Turning Your Food Dream Into Reality Starts with Ready To Launch at CWK! 

Starting a food business can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re new to the industry. That’s where the Ready to Launch Program comes in.

This dynamic 8-week program is designed to walk you step-by-step through everything you need to get your food business off the ground — from understanding local health regulations to securing your permit from the City of Boston and launching operations with confidence.

Working alongside a cohort of other entrepreneurs, you’ll be on the fast track to becoming a fully licensed food entrepreneur at CommonWealth Kitchen. Complete a CWK Member Application to secure your spot in our upcoming RTL Cohort.  Application deadline is June 30th.
