What I am currently doing with my small business

I currently run Cynthia’s blissful bakes as a home based . For now I specialise in making cookies, busicuts, rolls, and tarts since we’ll I don’t have full equipments to make more pastries and cakes. I take orders through word of mouth and handle the packaging including the delivery. I won’t lie it’s not easy building loyal customer base with limited equipment and space.

If I acquired funding this is how I would expand my small business

I plan to invest in professional baking equipment to increase production capacity and consistency. I also want to rent a dedicated space for the bakery, which will allow me to operate more efficiently and serve walk-ins .This will also open up opportunities for hiring staff and expanding my menu, and supply local shops and cafes.

How will funding impact my small business

It would significantly transform Cynthia’s Blissful Bakes from a home based operation into a more professional scalable business. It would help improve product quality and output , reduce turnaround time and allow me to serve more customers. Renting a space will also increase visibility and credibility in the community creating more consistent income and potential job opportunities.
