| Plan your dream.
Generate a business plan. Before you seek funding or start looking at locations, creating a business plan is a MUST!

Businesses that sell merchandise, food or services that require sales taxes to be collected need to complete the State of Ohio/Delaware County Application for Vendor's License to Make Taxable Sales and return the form to the County Auditor's office at 140 N. Sandusky St., Delaware, Ohio, 43015. Restaurant and other food related business also must be inspected and permitted by the Delaware General Health District if they are selling retail. |
