If there is one thing that won’t go out of style, it is of course food. Food is just a necessity needed by mankind and it will never be out of any topic. Having a business related to food is much more than an opportunity than a risk because everyone needs to eat in order to live, in order to survive. A bakery is one example of a good ideal business that will never grow old because you can keep on innovating with different pastries and different bread for your customers. Now, we have the internet always ready to aid us in our everyday struggle so the big question is – how can I start an online bakery?
If you are a pastry-lover yourself and you are interested in earning money, then having an online bakery is just perfect for you. Of course, you will need social media exposure in order to grow but first things first; let us head on to what you need before we dive deeper into the topic.
Here in our country, you won’t be able to establish a business without first consulting the national government agencies. You need to be registered in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). These are the two main bodies you need to contact before going on and starting with your business.
Once you’ve decided that you will take on this kind of business and you have planned on preparing for the BIR and the DTI, you need to have your business plan ready and sensible. This contains your location, your target market, your menu, marketing strategies, and so on.
Yes, we included location because having an online bakery means meeting up with people or shipping their orders, correct? Whether you decide to rent a small space to serve as your kitchen or you decide to establish it in the comfort of your own home, your location still matters so include it in your plan. Imagine having to drive, commute, or to ship goods one-by-one it would most certainly be hassle for you.
