Two Irish small-business tools: five card-processing routes ranked on their published rates, and the registration or approval route a food business actually has to take.

Rank five public Irish card-processing routes from Square, SumUp, Stripe and Revolut Business on your own turnover and channel split, with percentage, per-sale and monthly plan costs kept apart.
Business setup
Find which Irish authority to notify and whether a home kitchen, stall, food truck, café, catering or manufacturing idea needs ordinary registration or full approval, with a starting budget.
Before you decide
A small-business decision can fail for two very different reasons: the activity may not meet a regulatory requirement, or the numbers may not work at the expected volume. Verdanyx business tools keep those questions visible rather than reducing a launch to one optimistic profit figure.
Use real provider quotes and a cautious sales or transaction range. Both tools start from documents rather than round numbers: the card comparison ranks five routes on the providers' own published rates and counts a required monthly plan fee as part of a route's cost, and the launch planner routes to the competent authority and uses the CRO's current filing fees. Check the linked Irish authority guidance for the registrations, premises, food-safety or other obligations that apply to your specific activity.
Rent, insurance and subscriptions continue when sales are quiet; payment fees and consumables rise with volume. Keeping them separate shows the break-even point more honestly.
Registration, training, premises approval and record-keeping can have an order. A checklist is most useful when each item has an owner, evidence and a target date.
Allow for slow demand, refunds, waste, downtime and one-off setup work. If the plan only survives the best case, the risk is in the assumptions rather than the arithmetic.
