Would I Be Refused a Mobile Catering Licence With Criminal Record?

Please, would a person with a criminal record be allowed to earn a living with a mobile coffee cart? Could I get a licence to trade?

I have not been able to find a proper job for years, my elderly parents support me, but can't go on doing so.

I was convicted of indecent assault in 2005, but no one will employ me because of it.

In desperation, I have been researching self-employment options, and have come across your sit, which sounds interesting... however, I had better not get too optimistic, as my hopes are always dashed when it comes to disclosure of CRB!
Thanks,
