There are many options when it comes to buying a mobile food business. You can buy a trailer, a commercial van, a marquee or a truck. Finding a good mobile food or catering business will depend on a few factors. Firstly, the condition of the vehicle or trailer you are buying, you want to make sure you are paying a fair price, so it's important you know what it would cost to buy and fit-out that particular type of van or trailer. Secondly, does the business have contracts in place to appear regularly at certain markets or venues, some markets may be hard to get access to. Thirdly, are they approved by the local council to operate, most councils require a food health and safety check before operation. Once you have assessed these 3 factors, you then need to look at the profitability of the business, how much money you can actually make. It's important to remember mobile food vans require exposure to be successful. 
 

Mobile food and coffee van businesses are appraised based on a multiple of the net profit to the owner with some market predictions. Mobile food and coffee businesses may be stationery or they may move between locations, this may play a part in the appraisal. Obviously, the cost of the van, trailer, truck or marquee’s needs to be taken into consideration. It's important to seek professional advice when buying a business so you know exactly what you are buying and proper due diligence is conducted. 
 

No, you are just buying the vehicle. A business should include products, equipment, contracts, client base, distributors, employees, marketing documents, trademarks, etc. The mobile food van, trailer, or truck needs have an ABN included for it to be considered a business sale.  
 

The most obvious way is by selling food or drinks, though the way businesses operate can be different. There are mobile food vans that rely on weekend markets and travel between them to make sales and generate income. There are vans that are stationary at locations such as petrol stations, that operate 7 days a week and rely on passing trade. There are vans that will move between venues and hot spots often announcing their arrival, they tend to operate Thursday-Sunday. The amount of exposure a mobile food van receives is important, as they can only make money when people arrive to buy food or drink. So determining the location is just as important as the food or drink being offered.
 

The best way to keep track of new mobile food van business opportunities is to save your search result. You will be notified as soon as a new food van business is listed for sale.
