Say goodbye to Twinkies

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.

You better sell a lot of cupcakes to split profits 50 ways.

Just stop. Your personal testimony disproves your assessment that it's easy and inexpensive to start your own business.
