What I am currently doing with my small business

Neo Bakes was started before I joined The Knead Academy, unfortunately it was disturbed because of Covid-19 as i was running it as a student selling to other students and the College staff. But after finishing the one month baking course here at The Knead Academy I will definitely continue with my business Neo Bakes.

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

At the Knead Academy we are taught how to bake and also marketing skills everything that we bake we sell that attract people , so the customers as I regard them they already want me to bake for them the minute I finish the course, they can’t stop spreading the word that there’s an up coming Chef in the making who already her bakes tastes like they are made by a professional. They said it is good that there’s a person in the neighborhood who is going to sell to them so it will be easy for them to get freshly baked goods.

How will funding impact my small business

I usually post the products we baked here at school on social media so people they want what I have baked so my problem is that I do not have a big baking stove I have a mini oven the other problem is that I do not have a proper mixer, so it will require too much time because I will be baking in small quantities and I won’t be able to finish people’s orders in time.
