Looking To Start Your Own Bakery?
So you want to go get your hands muddy with bread flour or just get in it for business? Here are
a few pointers. BY MOSA BOKAMOSO MOHURUTSHANE
BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR
requires more determination than
anything else. If you had been an eight
to five job employee, are you aware that
you`re switching to a 5 am to probably
8 pm, or even to midnight shift?
Are you stepping into business for
pleasure, as a side hustle, or simply
filling up a gap in the market? Being
your own is no walk in the park.
Do you trust yourself enough to get
dirty in the kitchen on a daily? Are
you prepared for sleepless nights and
spending day time on your toes getting
pastries ready?
Do you have well-practised recipes
of cakes, cupcakes, loaves, biscuits and
other confectionery products? If so,
one stride done down the line is sorted.
Another thing is to decide the type of
bakery you want to open and what sort
of products you want to make.
First things first; before thinking of
the profit to be made, the smiles you will
bring to your customers` faces. Script a
business plan, submitting your business
name to the registrar of companies,
