Hi. Do I need a licence in the uk to sell food hampers? The jars etc going into the hampers will all be bought from elsewhere so I won't actually be making the food, just putting it together in hampers and selling them at fairs.

Thanks

What sort of licence did you think you need ?

I wasn't thinking food and hygene but maybe a straight forward business licence

[Curlyben]

For the UK there is NO requirement for a business licence.
Most small fair trades aren't even VAT registered as their turn over is well under the starting level to pay.

If you are simply putting together bother in pieces then, other than some working capital, there are no other business requirements.

Thank you very much for your help
