How can you start your own bakery?

Answer by  Hewitt302 (1720)

You can start your bakery right out of your home. The easiest way is to begin selling/advertising to your neighbors, family and friends where you live. Design business cards and have an email address specifically for orders. Once your revenue increases, you can think more about buying business property.

Write a detailed business plan, including an operating budget. Research all aspects. The most challenging items will be securing the necessary capital and finding a suitable work space.

You will need to be licensed to produce and sell food products. You will also need a food handling permit (as an individual) and a business license. This can be partially mitigated by renting a commercial kitchen to bake your own products; then you only need a license to sell. Otherwise, you have to get permission for a commercial kitchen.

You should start by researching the baking industry as well as the startup costs for opening a bakery. Next you want to write a business plan that states the nature of your bakery, why it's relevant to your community, and the amount of funding that's needed. Lastly, look for an affordable building that's in an area that will atract customers.
