by: Anonymous

Hi Sophie,

I am very excited for you and hope that you do manage to keep up the momentum and start your own mobile catering business. Although be aware that you might find the competition stiff by just choosing to focus only on type of food, fish/platters. You might want expand your menu a bit to include the more basic food items, so that you can cater for a wider variety of events and gain more experience in the process.

A good place to start to find the sort of events you want to cater for is the eventsbook.co.uk website. They have a full listing of events from with over 500 events around the country unfortunately you will have to by a book to get access to this information but it might be worth it for you. Apart from this, try contacting the event directly to find out what they charge for you to rent a space.

Try and find your pitch first and then find yourself a clean trailer or rent one to see if you like the business. Now the money part, you need to register within three months your business with Inland Revenue call them on 0845 915 4515 for more details If you don't register you may be liable for a fine/penalty charge, it?s always best to do things properly avoiding any future problems.

Lastly your starting a business, taking control over your future- at times it going to be tough. Find the courage and just go for it, you won't know until you give it a try.

Please keep me updated

Kind Regards

David

Hi Sophie,

For the LPG certificate try corgi lpg gas on 01256 372 300 they should be able to give you a number of someone closer to where you live, if they are not in your area.

Also for your food and hygiene certificate call your local council and see if they run any courses, failing that try your local collage.

Hope this helps, contact me anytime.
Best Of Luck
