Do you love Cooking?

Make a business of your hobby and learn how to start a catering business.


Ideas include:
- Cup Cakes

- Cater for Parties ie kids parties

The ideas are endless.



You can cook in your home (pending Health dept approval) or other approved kitchen, cook in your own time around family and commitments and then market to your chosen demographic or niche that you have chosen.

Start a catering business allows you to follow your passion of cooking without the overheads and risk of running a cafe or restaurant, and there are great profits to be made.You can cook in your own home (although you must apply for a Permit/Licence from the Health Department in your area. If you are considering cooking from home, you must contact your local health department for more information. I have heard that in some areas it is quite difficult to get a permit for your own home.

An Idea


Source a larger approved kitchen ie halls, sports clubs or cafes/restaurants not using their kitchens during the day. Source renting a kitchen on a casual basis.You must check your local laws on food handling.Your earning potential can be in the 6 figure range. There is a lot of potential, dependant on the type of catering business you choose.You don't need to be a qualified chef or cook to become a caterer in your chosen niche, although doing a couple of smaller courses would be an advantage.

Develop your Business Plan, Find a Niche and success will follow. Your business will grow........
