Setting Up a Small Catering Business- How Much and In What Oder.

by Debbie

Can you please list initial cost of setting up a mobile catering van. Please include insurance cover for the van and any other insurances needed.

In what order should things be done first. Food & Hygiene certificate, LPG Test Certificate, Trading Licence etc. Please advise of anything else that i need to do BEFORE purchasing my vehicle.

My business goal is to simply start small in my local area offering hot food at lunch times only. If all goes well, i would hope to widen my food offering and extend my geographical route.

I have a small amount of money which I recently inherited, therefore, I don't want to waste this opportunity and really want to make my business work. I may not get the opportunity again if all goes wrong.

Thanks
Debbie
