The catering industry is a very competitive industry and by starting out a new catering business you are not going to be guaranteed huge wealth.
Most people in the catering business are involved with it because of their culinary passions. These are the people most likely to do well, as opposed to those who are in it for purely financial gain.
Consequently, it might be an idea to break into the catering business slowly, perhaps treating it as a part time hobby to start off with, and considering any money your earn as supplemental to your regular income.

If you do well and the business is self-sufficient and you are earning enough money to cover your daily living costs, then perhaps is the time to make it a full-time venture.
It’s a fact the majority of caterers, even successful ones, take in excess of 1-2 years before they are able to make enough of an income, from their catering business, for them to live on.
Only once you’ve built your catering business in to a large-scale company will you start to see large profits role in. One of the best ways to grow such as business is to concentrate on the corporate sector.

There is generally more work in the corporate sector and your growth can be fast-tracked significantly when you start to become preferred suppliers to a portfolio of companies, since they will use you for all their catering requirements and recommend you to others.
Bare in mind though that there is intense competition in the corporate catering sector and your success will be determined not only by you culinary skills but also by your organisational skills, business acumen and the time you are willing to invest in building the business.
