Go to work for a caterer and learn the business from the inside out.
Find someone who is selling a catering business and buy it from them, but have them stay for 6 months or longer to show you the ropes.

Be sure to have your food handlers certificate from which ever state you reside in. Cost only around $150. One day class / test
Then you will need to apply for a Federal Tax I.D. # so you can begin your business legit ! Tax time comes every year, just as well be ready!
Now make up flyers, spread the word that you are out there. For an added bonus to potential customers > > > make what you think you could be famous for and deliver it to a big cooperation (during their morning coffee break when so many seem to be hungary ) for all to sample along with your business flyer / card, stating what you specialize in! Be positive and cheerful and the business will come to you ! Good luck..
