Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £1,000 to £5,000, depending on how many events you book and how busy they are. Hours are typically at least around ten a week, mostly at events.

Check whether the organiser's licence covers you, or whether you need a Temporary Event Notice and a personal licence holder. Also check council food business registration, hygiene rules, public liability insurance, advertising rules on health claims about oxygen, and safe gas cylinder storage.
