What else do I need?
We would suggest bringing a card reader as well as your cash float so that you can take both types of payments. Particulary in these times customers are keen to be paying by card so a card reader would be beneficial.
You'll also need to make sure you have appropriate Public Liability insurance and if you are a food seller you will also need your food hygiene certificate.

Do I need insurance?
