Im looking at starting a business and dont want to get arrested. Do you have to have a licence, or is that only applicable within a radius of a city/town etc>?

You have to be registered with the local authority and yes you need a permit/licence and you cannot just work anywhere- they will need to know where you intend to work and when- its not a case of getting a van and heating up a few burgers at road side. You will also need to come under certain health and safety regulations - you will have to have a food and hygiene certificate as well.! Speak to your local council.

a traders licence is only needed when you are selling from the main street if you are selling from inside a building site you donot require a licence although you must register your burger van.you must also hold an updated food and hygene certificate and your van must be inspected to see if it clean enough

There are a ton of laws and local ordinances that apply to anyone selling food for human consumption.

you have to have a food handlers permit and be inspected.
contact your states dept of commerce.
the law is for all food establishments
this is not mexico.
start by going to the www.fda.gov or www.usda.gov site.
safe food handling practices as well as gmp look it up.
