    Ways to promote my snack van

    You don't sound harsh! I see the points you're making and that's why I'm on here trying to make the best of my situation and trying to get the best I can out of it. There is one other thing I might be able to do but it would be a site with a different council and I need to look into it more. I...

    Ways to promote my snack van

    Theres a grocers, newsagents, hairdressers, lawyers, opticians, butchers, post office. And flats above them. Quite busy in the morning time. Huge residential areas in all areas surrounding us so the place is full of parents and school kids in the morning and people come and go all day. I'm just...

    Ways to promote my snack van

    I've only been there for a month. Many of us talked to the council when that lease came up and were told under no circumstances could that property ever be a hot food place. It will never be granted planning permission. I gotta hand it to them. Within 2 months it was renovated and sure...

    Ways to promote my snack van

    Well it took me 6 months to get the licence. I don't want to drop it after 4 weeks. Where I am is a dead end road but it's small and surrounding it is empty ground and the word is that they are going to start building this month or next as there was people laying gas pipes around. That would be...

    Ways to promote my snack van

    I've been trading for a month now and I always knew it would be slow to start with but I really want to do more to build it up. I feel as if most days I just stand there waiting for people to come because that's what they do right? But I need to let them know I am there and bring them to me. So...

    Business - New & Used DVD Sales

    What about rare films and films that no longer being sold? There are lots of films that don't have any copyrights to them or the company that owned them went bust therefore no one legally owns them. Some films have never even made it to DVD or blu ray officially. I know some places in America...

    Questions about working in snack van

    I'll need to look into all that. I'm in a position where I could start trading on Monday but I can leave it off a few more days until I get all this sorted and that I can understand it all myself. It's really them that i need to worry about. Basically I need to make sure the right paperwork is...

    Questions about working in snack van

    Is it an easy enough process? Obviously I would need to check that i am still listed as self employed and if not I know that is a phone call away. Then I sign off. I'm guessing they would need to sign off. How would I get one of those P46 forms? And what happens with tax? Is there anything I...

    Questions about working in snack van

    They are currently claiming benefits and would like to work 16 hours with me. Do the job centre not do anything for new employers to help them employ people or give any funding for employing someone and taking them off benefits? What is this P46 form? Do they just fill it in themselves? Do I...

    Question about fire resistant material for a snack van

    I've been told where i store the gas bottles that it needs to be lined with a fire resistant material that can burn for up to 30 minutes. One person i spoke to says some people use fibreglass which he didn't understand as it needs to be able to burn for 30 minutes, it needs to be able to stop...

    I have recieved feedback on my street traders licence

    It was like a courtroom and your looking up at them and they all have individual mics. Then you need to go up with the entire place full all eyes on you. I'll need to get someone to talk on my behalf next time cause i can't do it. I need someone that can talk confidently and can answer any...
