Buy a coffee truck in North Macedonia by sourcing a road-legal, power-stable unit and securing FVA and municipal approvals before committing to trading spots. Start with a certified upfitter in Skopje or import an EU-built truck that can be homologated locally; target a 2‑group espresso machine (3–4 kW), 6–8 kVA inverter generator or 16A shore power, 100–200 L potable water with carbon/softening filters, food‑grade tanks, stainless work surfaces, LPG only for ancillary heat, and a ventilation hood. Register a DOOEL with the Central Registry, fiscalize with the Public Revenue Office (UJP) using an approved e‑fiscal device, and register the mobile unit with the Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA/AHV) under an HACCP plan covering water quality, cleaning logs, temperature control, and waste disposal; staff need valid food‑handler medical checks. Obtain a municipal public‑space permit (or private‑land contract) for each location; expect event‑specific approvals in Skopje, Ohrid, and Bitola. Ensure vehicle registration and insurance (MTPL; add product liability), price display in MKD, and POS card acceptance integrated with your fiscal receipt workflow. Practical buying range: €15k–€45k used, €45k–€90k new, plus customs/VAT if importing; use a local customs broker. Prioritize winterization, bilingual signage where required, and a bank leasing pre‑approval to accelerate closing when a suitable truck appears.
