As people group around the planet react to the quickly advancing circumstance around a pandemic, therapists across the broadness of the field are giving basic direction and support. We got confused at some point not knowing what will happen next. Our workplace was closed, and the government told us to work from home if necessary, school were also closed. Some people lost their only income sources, and those lucky went home with half of their salary. At this point, business ideas were generated, and those that were likely to do well are those in the food industry. Therefore, we will look at ways to start a small bakery business during a pandemic.

If someone has a passion for baking, then learning becomes easy. Choose a name for your business, then register your business in your chosen company’s name at the companies’ registrar. This is done at the authority where a certificate is issued. Then get a permit to allow one to operate the business. Depending on the area where your business will be operating from, the prices plus other requirements will always vary.
Another requirement is the food handling certificate issued from the ministry of health. It is a must to have this certificate which shows that one is free from diseases and can handle food. After getting all the required documents to start the business, make a list of all the items you intend to sell. Start little with few things, expand to more items as you get on. Set up a Menu with a Value rundown of the relative multitude of items accessible in your store. When making a price list, consider the cost of ingredients, labor, plus other expenses.
A bakery will need several types of equipment to be used for baking. Baking tins, cook swell oven, icing spatula, nozzle set, electric hand whisk, among other utensils.
