Hi, I'm Simon! Thanks for taking the time to read about my journey. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve finally taken the steps to start my own breakfast and burger van! I’ve got my van, my equipment, my business registered, and my health & safety courses done—but I need your help to get started.
Why I Need Your Support
Starting a business is tough, especially when you're overcoming challenges. I’ve worked hard to build myself up after struggling with my mental health, and now I’m in a great place with a strong support system. However, due to my credit history, securing a loan has been impossible. I don’t want a handout—just a helping hand to get this business off the ground so I can work hard and earn an honest living.
Where I'll Be Trading
I’ve secured two fantastic locations:
The Curry House Car Park: Serving breakfast and burgers from 7 AM - 4 PM, six days a week.
The Pub Next Door: Cooking up delicious food on Friday and Saturday evenings.
How Your Support Will Help
Your contributions will go towards essential startup costs, including:
Stock & Ingredients – Quality food to serve delicious meals
Licenses & Permits – Ensuring everything is fully legal and above board
Fuel & Gas for Cooking – Keeping the van running and ready to serve
Marketing & Branding – Signage, menus, and advertising to attract customers
What You Get in Return
I believe in giving back, so everyone who donates will be welcome to come down and enjoy a free burger & chips on me! Plus, for larger donations, I’ll offer special perks like a personalized meal named after you or a special VIP meal deal card.
Join Me in Making This Dream a Reality!
I’m not looking to get rich—just to work hard and create something great for my local community. If you believe in second chances, supporting small businesses, or just love a good burger, please consider donating. Every little bit helps, and I’d be forever grateful for your support.
If you can't donate, a share on social media would mean the world to me!
Thank you so much, Simon
