You would need a reasonable amount of capital to set the vehicle up with equipment  and also not much use with a driving ban

Van and a pressure washer few other tools but not really that many. My father done it for years after retiring. Must of missed the bit where he said he had a driving ban but OP said about an ice cream truck so doubt he has a ban

No I do have a ban I’m sorry to say, I was talking about the peddle trikes with the fridge thing on the front which sell traditional ice creams and coffee and stuff

apologies must have missed that depending on how long the ban is look into match betting build your balance and take it from there  😀

Ive been meaning to look into it as it happens, I remember the Bandit mentioning it once. D<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>o you need to know much about football to do it? Cos I couldn’t even tell you how many people are in a team ?</span>

 

It’s over in October but I don’t actually have a licence (hence the ban) I checked what a moped would cost to insure for a year and it was just shy of two grand ? so it looks like I’ll be a bus wanker/cyclist for some time yet

[Malkychamp WANTED $486 Outlaw]

No football or sports knowledge needed. Plenty of guides out there search team profit they got plenty guides for free

Haha thanks thisgirl, I’ll take that compliment ?

[Eightblack WANTED $446 Outlaw]

The driving ban is a nightmare I checked what insurance would be on a moped and it was nearly 2k ? that’s was the reason I was thinking of one of those trikes with the freezer and the little umbrella and I live in a very touristy area so the summer would be decent and I wouldn’t mind working part time in the winter to cover myself so because I’d have something going myself if that makes sense although ice cream is just an idea as it’s high margin and popular at the beach and I’m a pretty good sales person so with an quirky little trike it could be quite good traditional coffee was another idea on the same principal as ice cream

 

Cheers for all the advice and tips guys,

[Philinvicta WANTED $12 Outlaw]

I hope you find an opportunity.   Have a chat with an advisor  maybe at a local job centre  or citizens advice might be able to point you in the right direction. You may be eligible for a start up grant which would help out.  Also look into everything you may have to pay out.   A lot of councils will not grant a licence to trade without proof of public liability insurance.   I am not trying to be negative just trying to point out some of the pitfalls.  Maybe look for another job in the mean time and set about saving up a bit of capital as a buffer.

Do you know the capital outlay that would be needed for one of those ice cream cycles with the freezer ?

Traditional Ice cream bike

 

This might give some ideas

 

[Du Dune2000 WANTED $205 Blocked]

Just saw an Advert for an ice cream bike on Gumtree and fhe figures might be useful, not least that it is based on your area

It is complete with parasol, Factory fitted electric motor by Divinci Electric Motors Liverpool. Complete with thermal wash basin fitted to the bike, also a custom-made trailer, for holding stock. A 1KW generator for running the fridge unit when out and about, there is also other 2 KW Generator for when you are at events. Two freezers to store the ice creams in and extension leads. There is everything you need to go straight to work. I’m selling the ice cream bike due to moving area, I was working in Bournemouth, and for family reasons moved to Cheshire. The electric system is amazing which cost £1500, it has a running time of around 12\15 miles before charging again. Asking price £2000 for everything. In take hourly £80 to £120 at the Bournemouth air show, On average just out and about £50 to £70 an hour. Whoever buys her and works her properly you can make a good living.

Not sure how much of that is hype as the guy wants to sell his bike, but its also interesting that you can rent yourself out to weddings and parties and in the summer if you can get there.

Just be a bit more diplomatic than the ice cream lady around my area.  When I asked her for a 69 she punched me in the nose 🙂

That’s the exact website I was looking at, with all the licences and stuff I’d need as well I reckon in reality it’s more like a 6k start up, hopefully this compensation which is pretty much in the bag will be enough plus,

 

 

On that note does anyone have any ideas what I might get, basically I was working for another shop and had occasional warehouse duties to collect items for customers, receive deliveries and what not, I had no manual training, was given no ppe and it was pretty unsafe in there so one day I was helping a customer and on my way through a slab of solid oak fell and snapped my big toe they’ve admitted liability so now they’re just reviewing the medical records etc… My mates reckon a grand or two but thats just a guess

I’d say know your market first. If you like the idea, doesn’t mean that it is going to be a success.
