This is neighborhood work you show up and do: sell pretzels at malls and games. Neighbors and shops pay a posted rate with a minimum call-out. A market stall or flyers still work. A normal week is booked jobs, photographed work, and a reminder list for the next season. Check licenses. Become the person a street recommends. Buy the next tool from profits.
A used cart plus a temporary food permit. USDA / state cottage-food and peddler maps: the permit is often tens to a few hundred; the cart is the rest.
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Trade tools
Hand-tool starter kit
Hand-tool starter kit. A tote of the first hand tools a one-person trade actually uses: drivers, knives, tape, and a small hammer. Not a contractor van build-out.
Transport
Local transit pass
A month of local transit (or a rideshare float of the same size) so a route job can move. This is fare, not a vehicle.
Cards
Stall business cards
A box of 200 thick cards for a market stall, chair, or kiosk: name, what you do, how to pay. Printed cards, not a website.
Public examples matched to this path by what they actually publish — not endorsements, and not a claim they run this exact shop. Handles change. Verify before you write to anyone.
No closely matched public example yet. Treat any lead you find as something to verify, not a directory listing.
