I’m guessing you are the person that has always made cakes for your family when it was their birthday, or maybe you just make donuts or small treats when you have some friends coming over. If you are that kind of person and you have imagined yourself as the owner of a bakery business than we have some amazing advice that you might need to start up your bakery business.


First of all, you need to decide what kind of bakery you want to run. My advice is that you should start off small and maybe run the business from your home, but then again you just might have enough capital to start off with a nice bakery business in the center of the town where you will have tons of orders during the week.

So, depending on what kind of business you want to open check out some of our advice and tips on how those bakery businesses should be run.

Choose a bakery

Herb BreadLike we mentioned above you might want to start off a bakery business from your home. For that, you will need an amazing web page so you can attract people at the first click. Make sure to upload your best pictures, and consider hiring a professional photographer for this part.

Or maybe you want to run a counter service, where people will go in and pick up their order over the counter. This can be done with a small space but the location is important.

There is also the option to run a specialty service where you specialize in making a certain bakery product. For instance, if you want to run a bread business and only produce bread for other businesses or special customers then you just need to have a good offer for them and you can start making money. In this form of business, you could be making special bread like  for customers that have health issues, or just prefer to eat the special type of bread. Here you can have a set amount of goods produced and never worry about losing money as you will have regulars making standard orders every day.

Find help and don’t forget to invest into marketing

The thing about running a bakery business is that you can’t do it alone. The sooner you get good help, whether it be from your family, making it a family business, or from your neighbors or other professional bakers that you hire, the sooner you can start achieving new heights. Also, don’t forget that like in every business marketing is key. So, having a good social media presence and still marketing to a specific demographic can help your business grow faster.
