When I started it was £90 I think and the you have to buy all stock and attend training, they do start up sets but they don't really have enough if your first customer has all 5 choc shakes. I got the started pack twice and extra strawberry, banana and chocolate.
I hated the thought of my first customer coming and me not having enough of what they wanted (I'm still the same now) so my first order was about £500 If that including some Argos scales (find some that go as high as you can, I have only had one that is would no read for and we were both embarrassed) and stationary I also opened a separate bank account. Remember you have to pay your renewal and insurance each year (no one told me lol)
I have also sacrificed 2 large kitchen units but I now have some amazing people a get to have a good chat with each week other then my much loved and very young daughters.
It's good but don't expect to make loads.
