It is up to you which company and package you purchase, however we will have to verify that you have a liability policy before we can allow you to set up at the market.

If this is the first time or second time you’ll be selling your products- no. However you will need a Temporary Registration Certificate. It is free to apply. You can find more information here

If you have already sold your products at two or more events, then you will need a WA Business license (if you don’t already have one). You can find more information about this here

If you’re close to making over $4,000 in the City of Bellevue through your sales you will also need a City of Bellevue Business license. More information can be found here
