Can Children Help Out In Business?

I was thinking off starting up a mobile business in a catering van and was wondering if my daughter who is nine years old is allowed to help out?

For example cleaning....little food prep etc....under the supervision of myself...

Hello There!

The short answear to your question is not really.Children have to be over a legal age(16) to be employed, and should not really be in any commerical setting.

I know that you just want your daughter to help out with a bit of cleaning and tidying up.This might be okay when your business is closed for the day,(and your at home cleaning your van/trailer but certainly not when you have all the equipment working or when you are open for business.
