Hello friends
Check with your city or county business licensing office to see what type of licensing/permits you would need to start a dessert baking business. See if you require any certifications from the health or sanitation department.
Prepare for a health inspection. Your local health department will check that your location is ready for service; that your equipment works properly; that there is proper ventilation for ovens; that all areas are adequately sanitized; that there is food awareness and proper hand washing and that you do not have a pest problem. According to the National Restaurant Association, you should also review your local health code for any special, local requirements.
Find out the type of equipment you would need for your dessert business, such as ovens, refrigerators, work sinks/tables, mixers, storage shelves, baking sheets and pans and how much they cost.
Look for wholesale and retail stores in the area that carry the baking ingredients you need at an affordable cost.
Decide on a name and catchy slogan for your dessert business. If no one else is using the business name, register it. According to Business.gov, you may use your full name as your business name if you are the sole owner. However, if your business name is different from your name, you may need to file a fictitious name with a government agency, depending on your state (see Resources).
Plan what desserts you will sell. If you have a secret recipe that everyone seems to like, include it in your menu.
Attend business and baking classes to get ideas on growing your business and study creative ways to make your desserts. Keep updated on food safety regulations through training programs in the area (see Resources).
Thanks for all guys
