Micro and small food enterprises are the backbone of local economies. FSSAI provides a tiered compliance system that grows with your business, from a simple registration to a full license.
Smaller units often start with a **Basic Registration**. As your machines get bigger or your turnover crosses ₹12 Lakh, you must upgrade to a **State License**. This step-by-step approach prevents burdening small businesses.
For small units, FSSAI focuses on common-sense safety:
Without an FSSAI license, you cannot sell your products on e-commerce platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, or Amazon. Getting registered is the first step to reaching thousands of new customers.
Scale your food dream with confidence. Pragati Services specializes in helping small businesses transition from home-based units to professional food manufacturing plants.
