Do I need a licence for a food trailer in Ireland?

If you trade on public land or at events you typically also need casual trading or event-specific permits from the relevant council.
What insurance does a food trailer need?
+
Standard cover includes public liability (typically €6.5 million minimum for events in Ireland), product liability, employers' liability if you have staff, motor insurance covering the trailer in transit, and equipment cover.

What payment methods do suppliers on the marketplace accept?
+
Each supplier handles payment directly with the operator — Food Trailers Marketplace does not process transactions. Common methods used by Irish trailer suppliers include bank transfer (SEPA), card (via the supplier's own merchant), revolut, cash on collection, and finance/leasing arrangements for larger trailer purchases. Confirm payment options with the supplier before agreeing a deal.
Can I list a finished food business or trailer for sale on Food Trailers Marketplace?
+
Yes. Suppliers regularly list complete coffee trailers, burger trailers, pizza trailers, crepe trailers, horsebox conversions, and turnkey food businesses (with established locations, equipment, and customer base). Pick the most relevant category when posting — usually "Trailers" — and use the description to specify whether the listing includes goodwill, location rights, or stock.
Are listings open to non-Irish suppliers?
+
Food Trailers Marketplace is built specifically for Ireland — we ask suppliers to be Irish-registered (CRO/VAT) or to have an Irish service base. EU and UK suppliers serving the Irish market through an Irish entity, distributor, or sales rep are welcome. The platform is not designed for general international listings.
How do I report a suspicious or misleading listing?
+
Email info@foodtrailersmarketplace.com with the listing URL and a brief description of the issue. Our admin team reviews flagged listings within 24 working hours and can suspend the supplier account, remove individual listings, or revoke a Verified badge if confirmed. We take safety, scams, and misrepresentation seriously.
Are prices on Food Trailers Marketplace VAT-inclusive?
+
It depends on the individual supplier. Some Irish suppliers list VAT-inclusive prices (gross), some list ex-VAT (net) — always confirm directly with the supplier before agreeing a deal. The Verified subscription paid by suppliers to Food Trailers Marketplace is currently a flat €10/month (no VAT charged, since the platform operator is below the Irish VAT registration threshold).
