How can i start a farm shop as a sold trader, what sort of things do i need? -

Think about where you re considering setting up your business and find out what people there want. If they all want sausages and meats, your organic vegetables or home made breads might not be the answer.As a rough guide, you need premises, planning permission, if you re not taking over and existing business, stock and lots of customers. You may need to check food hygiene regulations, too. To start with, speak to your local Business Link. They provide a ton of free help and advice on starting up and they re very good on food hygiene legislation.You should put together a business plan for what you re going to do and Business Link have templates for this. Key to all of it is your marketing plan - who you re targeting, how you ll let them know about what you do, explaining why they should buy from you instead of supermarkets and other farm shops, what you ll charge them and how much profit you ll make.Good luck!
