Do I Have to Pay Rent For My Trading Spot?

by Rochelle

I am interested in starting a mobile catering business. I wanted to know do I have to pay rent on my trading spot.

Also since I do not have a mobile van or trailer yet will I have to pay a deposit to secure a trading spot until I purchase my trailer or van?

Lastly, approximately how much should I expect to spend out to get started with my mobile catering business?

Hi Rochelle, It all depends on where you get to trade from, if you get a pitch on an industrial estate then you may not have to pay rent, if however you find a pitch on private land , the land owner may wish to charge you some sort of rent in exchange for using the land.

Also why not consider hiring a catering trailer to test the waters for a few months. This will give you a chance to see if you like mobile catering, and if you would seriously like pursue it as a full time business.
