I have had the idea of making baked goods and selling them to businesses in the local area for quite some time now. First of all, make sure you can run this business from your home legally.
Regulations vary from state to state, even from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Your local city hall and chamber of commerce are good places to start as you begin the process of applying for the proper permits and licenses. In addition, be sure to research and understand your local zoning and health department regulations. You may be able to do your home baking business without a commercial kitchen, it all depends on your local ordinances. Another option to think about is renting a local commercial kitchen. Again, your local chamber of commerce will probably be able to help you locate available kitchens.
