The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start a Home-Based Event Planning Business by Jill Moran
* Start Your Own Event Planning Business: Your Step by Step Guide to Success by Krista Turner
* The Essential Event Planning Kit by Godfrey Harris
* Start & Run an Event-Planning Business by Cindy Lemaire
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You dont need any further qualification, you have BBA degree. The thing you need is to join some event management firm as a trainee for some period and collect the knowledge all about field then you can make your own business plan and can start. To start any business you must know about the market and your competitors in the market. However, its good idea. Best of luck

Don't guess. You must go to the source. Spend some time working for or with another catering company and see what they do and decide on what you can use...use the best ideas and add your own to improve on your business plan. Don't re-invent the wheel...just give it better treds!

Check for a Food and Beverage management course at a community college.
Good Luck!
