i was wondering how much moolah it takes to open one , I have thought about it but was wondering what kind of short cuts one could take just to get going and then later, replace things if need be.
this varies GREATLY.
and is uniquely tied to the laws in your state, county, city as well as the overall economic conditions where you live.
In NC, NY and other locals where home-based business is allowed, very inexpensive.
In TX, FL, CA and other areas where it must be a separate entity, can get very pricey, very fast.
Yes what Doug said.
Start with your Health Department or Dept. of Agriculture to find out what you need to open.
Good Luck
Thanks, i will look into it but not just yet, i work full time right now(:
I agree with with Doug and cakemommy said - you really have to look in your area. This summer, we've done some serious pricing and it's around $50,000, so far. I work full-time and decided it was too big to jump into at this very moment so I'm getting legal and will be renting a kitchen. That way, I can build my customer base and keep an eye out for auctions and used equipment to help lower my costs down the road when I do open a storefront. HTH!

There is so much to do before you open, I think you should start now, yes with that call to the department of agricultural.
And having a full time job is no excuse, its great a thing!, you have a paycheck that pays the bills, so you can start getting the skills and the clients and then hang the sign up in the wall. If you are serious about it you will start now. I am sure so many out there will agree with me.
I'm in the same baot as tracycakes...I live in FL and home-based food production businesses are a no-no. I'm renting a kitchen now (very inexpensive for me), and building my client base. So far, so good.
My mom and I are going to auctions and checking out foreclosed properties (lots of those around here). We've found a few great ones, but not at the price that I'm looking for.
