OK, I'm sure you understand the meaning of "rent". If you rent something, it means you don't own the item or property. For an owner, the verb is "let" (the owner is called "the lessor"). "To let" means available; people may rent this property.

TO LET means that you can rent it (eg. you pay the owner £500 a month to use the space). 'To start up on their own' - they mean start up a restaurant business, which is implied by the fact that it's a restaurant. They may have meant 'ideal' instead of 'idea'. That would make more sense. ie. 'This would be ideal for an experienced person looking to start up on their own'.
