Food Truck Startup Checklist
Tell us your trading plans and get a personalised checklist of every licence, certificate, and registration you need.
Answer a few questions about your setup and we'll generate a personalised checklist of everything you need.
What this checklist covers
Starting a food truck in the UK requires multiple licences, registrations, and certificates from different authorities. Missing any one of them can stop you from trading — a lapsed street trading licence is a criminal offence, and an expired gas safety certificate can void your insurance.
This checklist generator personalises the requirements based on your setup: whether you use gas appliances, have employees, trade at events, or operate on private land. It covers food business registration, street trading licences, food hygiene certification, safety certificates, insurance, and vehicle requirements.
For a detailed walkthrough of each requirement, see our complete guide to food truck licensing in the UK.
