App Concept

PermitPath: Food Compliance

A compliance app that helps food processors, cottage food makers, and importers determine exactly which licenses and permits they need, then guides them through application forms and documents. It provides up-to-date templates for plans and labels, eliminating guesswork and conflicting info.

Key Features

License Requirement Quiz: Ask business type & location to generate a personalized permit checklist
Smart Form Builder: Populate forms like Attachment B with guided examples and validation
Label & Package Compliance Checker: Validate ingredient lists, allergen statements, and nutritional info against regulations
Preventive Control Plan Generator: Create CFIA-compliant plans with fillable templates and hazard analysis helpers

Target Users: Small to mid-size food business owners (cottage food, processors, importers) who lack in-house compliance expertise

Revenue Model: Freemium with basic checklists; premium subscription ($29/mo) for form builders, templates, and compliance document storage
