Startup costs are typically around $1,500 to $6,000, depending on your stall or kiosk setup, stock levels and insurance. Treat this as an estimate, and test a few locations before committing.

Monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on foot traffic, weather, location and your stock range. These are estimates only, and the work can start at around 10 hours a week.

Check whether market operators require public liability insurance, and whether your local council requires a permit or trading approval. Also check that chargers and power banks meet Australian electrical safety rules, and avoid fake branded goods.
