I searched for a small business bowl, but it is not active. Does anyone have some suggestions for books, videos, materials to read and learn about opening up a small business(sweet/bakery shop)?

I know google is my friend and have found some resources, but ultimately looking for personal recommendations. I have a passion for baked goods and while I’m not a master baker (yet), I have some good ideas and see a gap in my local market for these types of items.

Where are you based out of and what’s your target city? I have been thinking about this to and wanted to discuss

Gotcha. I am based in NYC too and me and my wife were thinking of adding the coffee part to the shop too and had been looking for locations that would be suitable. Yes, online would be a bit tough initially and to build a solid customer base.

Barriers to entry are low with high fixed costs - esp in NYC.

Plan for 6 months of zero profit/income. Assess if you can remain a going concern after that.

That being said, have fun!

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
