hi Ive been reading about your experience and must say its a great help knowing you went through what i am now!

I'm due to be made redundant in 2 weeks time and am aiming to put my money into a mobile catering van.

I want something that will look good as well as be able to cater for all types of business if you had ten grand to spend right now on a unit what would you buy?

Hi Steve,

If I had ten grand to spend I would probably look for/ buy a complete business with trailer and pitch included. I would also make sure that the business can generate a decent return before I part with my money.
I would also try and not spend the whole amount and place some of the money into savings for the odd emergency.

Failing that I would either look for a pitch with good potential or even a sandwich round if possible, depending on what’s available.

Obviously invest some time to do some research first before you part with your money, and don’t rush into any decision.

Best of luck


David
