Startup costs are typically around £8,000 to £30,000, depending on your unit, stock, testing and tools. These are estimates, so price up premises, insurance and a first batch of stock before you commit.

Monthly revenue is typically around £5,000 to £25,000, depending on how many units you sell and the prices you achieve. Treat this as an estimate, as stock is bought upfront and sales can vary from month to month.

Check F-gas certification for handling refrigerant systems, electrical safety testing records, WEEE and waste rules, insurance, clear warranty terms, and any planning or lease restrictions on your unit with the landlord and council.
