Everybody loves your Chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies, pastries and pies and says you should go into business for yourself. After years of politely brushing off the praise you are seriously considering taking the leap into mass producing your goodies for public consumption and profit. You have honed your marketing message for potential customers, but now you need to get the production process for your bakery rolling. You will need to obtain some production equipment for your baking facility. The right equipment will depend on the size of your intended production facility. You can quickly find a list of machinery companies to research by doing an Internet search for your equipment need (i.e. bulk storage silos). Your local bank can help explain financing options available for starting up small businesses, such as SBA loans. A little upfront planning and professional legal consultation can spare you from unpleasant hassles and fines down the road. Make sure that your budding production facility does not violate any guidelines set forth the the USDA, FDA or your local regulatory body. If gathering all of this information seems a bit daunting, you may want to tap the collective knowledge of professional organizations. By joining a trade organization (such as the American Bakers Association – www.americanbakers.org) – you can network with similar professionals that may be able to provide advice. With proper research and planning, your upstart baking business can turn your hobby into a profitable enterprise.
