Do I need a licence to trade?
You only require a licence if you intend to trade on council land or council property. This is relatively straightforward, most local councils should issue you a hawkers or street trading licence upon application and are very inexpensive. However you do not need a license or council permission if you intend to trade on private property such as markets, car boot sales, forecourts, fetes, fairs etc. If you would like some more advice on this matter, please feel free to contact us anytime. Remember, your choice of location is the key to your success.
Do I need hand-washing facilities when selling Ice Cream?
Officially you do not need hand-washing facilities when selling pre-packed Ice Cream or Lollys, however you do, if you intend to sell soft scoop Ice Cream in cones. We supply the ice cream bikes and seafood bikes with a Purell Hand Sanitizer Gel and neat bracket that is attached to the freezer. This is the same anti-bacterial gel used in hospitals so no water or towels are needed. This should satisfy most Environmental Health Officers, however if they insist you have hot running water, we can supply you with our self contained Hand Wash Unit which will fit neatly at the rear of the cycle rack.
Should I consider insurance?
Absolutely, we would always recommend a minimum of Public Liability Insurance and insuring the bike is worth considering. There are many insurance companies around but a number of our clients have successfully used Southwater Insurance Ltd on 01403 785995. They offer sound advice on all aspects of your business and are very competitively priced.
