So, basically start small with a food stand selling small items, then go bigger? Good idea.

Start small
Target college campuses
Make friends with the security guards
Get the license required

If you have 0 funding, at least get the plan in writing.
Spend a few hundred dollars making the actual snack.
Let another person(not family) taste them.
Improve quality

If you have done all with literally 100 bucks I'll send a small business plan template for you. Your job is simply to go from business to business within a 10 mile radius and let them try it and fund you on the spot. Deal??

I'm technically not opening up a restaurant. Just thinking about doing a food truck or food stand. I don't plan to open a cafe (what I really want) until I get older and married. I'm going to raise my kids to be self-sufficient.

Went right over your head.

That's why they're going to tax you. They don't want food trucks getting the money a restaurant would get while having none of the expenses a restaurant would have.

Only thing I owe is a 10k student loan. Other than that, my credit is good and I plan to keep it that way. Also, I could flip that money and make a profit.
What’s the interest rate in the loan?

I could sell smoothies, healthy pizza, and hipster foods down in the ocean front. The stacks I'd rake in :ohlawd: Also, I know I'd need a permit and food trucks cost like 2k-4k.


It's also extra income. Been thinking about doing it once my bank account looks about right. I wouldn't have to depend on cacs and it would be Black Business 101 :manny:

I'm going to look more into it. Also, I could vendor at fairs and etc on the side.
Good luck getting that small business loan. You may have the credit but do you have any food experience ? If your business doesn't work out do you have the income to payback the loan?
Make sure you stay in the back and have a cute chick ringing up the orders and handing them out. :salute:
