Say goodbye to Twinkies

commerical baking equipment will cost them 10s of thousands of dollars, lets say they can get used equipment at 10% the cost of new equpiment (highly unlikely though) so 4 K down for lease 4 K for super duper bargin euqupiment, throw in 2 K for pots pans and ingrediants, maybe some bare budget signage, a little flier advertising, lets throw out a ridiculous low ball number of 10K.

Assume you can start a bakery for 10K how many $12 an hour factory employees do you think would consider that "pocket change"?

You are completely disconnected from reality.

At that leaves nothing for slow months to cover utlities and the lease payment, so your hotcakes better sell like hotcakes right out the gate.


Say a group of 50 bakers get together to do it and yes 10k is pocket change on the grand scheme of things. And I said for the lease, the rest is probably in the 80k ballpark I would guess minimum.

I paid 60k for my Shop (on loans), after all the tax grabbers from the city hit me(planned 5k cash but underestimated opening taxes and permits big time) I had a few hundred to buy livestock. I made it after a few very harsh months and hard work. But I swear I almost went away for murder when the city sign tax guy came to measure the sq ft on my sign to determine the 500 buck tax on it a year.
