How To Start A Business

I’ve been offered the opportunity to help plan and cater a graduation party. Now, I’m not a caterer by trade, but have a life long love of cooking and have cooked in a higher-end restaurant in the past, which included planning and carrying out large-scale buffets and events.

I think this may work into something more - just looking for advice of any sort on the possibility of opening a catering business. Thanks!

It is on the Sea of Cortez, Mexico. We are able to cater at the big house or at any other location. Looking to center around Weddings on the beach, house parties on the beach, and such,.

What are the types of expenses you would have to start up a catering business?
My homework is to find at least three companies or business people who are experienced in catering business and interview them.
The question is what are some of the types of expenses that you would have for starting a catering business and how much does each type of expenses cost?

Also, I am suppose to get the business owner’s names or the names of businesses. So if want, you could put that down!

Thanks!!

I’m starting a food catering service very soon and I’ve had the worst of times trying to find a hot food carrier that keeps the *entire* unit warm. Most of these “plug-in” food warmers only heat up one side of the bag.

Any suggestions at all? Thank you so much!

I am hoping to start a catering business from home. How do I go about doing it? I can cook but what about all the other stuff???

I am 19 and a community college student. I want to find a way to make money independently. I also want to make money creatively and differently than I have ever done before. I thought about starting up a catering business that very small.

Is it possibly to just have two dessert to cater to people. I want to cater homemade chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pumpkin muffins. I want sale $5 for 10 and $10 for 20 and then $ 20 or $ 15 for 30 of either chocolate chip muffins or chocolate chip pumpkin muffins.

I have my own transportation. I do not have a job. I have about 600 dollars of free money to spend on anything extra that I might need. Like either getting a business license and covering the cost of food inspection for my kitchen.
