Rebuke: First, i will advice u to intern with a bakery even if for a few months to enable you learn the ropes (at least the basics). A family friend of mine who ran a bakery lamented not being properly informed. He says he spent so much on a much bigger generator than he needed (which led to increase in diesel consumption and thus, cost of production). He also lamented not starting with a local oven cos the foreign ovens repairers were more difficult to find and more expensive to fix. He also battled bitterly with getting staff to stop stealing from him and remit money they collected for the day's sales. These are the few in my head right now which is why i think u should try to learn how these issues are managed first. You didnt state you location, im in the business of selling baking materials at affordable prices. We supply to aba, umuahia, Port Harcourt, uyo, eket, abak, calabar, bayelsa. 0 8 0 three seven two three seven nine four nine. Cheers 12 Likes |

michaelala: I don't understand what you mean by premium bread. Forget about all those grammar bro. I have been in the business for more than 3years, quite stressful but rewarding. You will face so many challenges, most baker's will not release their formulas and to get honest staffs and manager is a big challenge. So many things involved. I can even write a book on bakery business now. ![]() 5 Likes |

Op can you bake? Bake one bread first lets see. Must you start on a large scale? Start small scale first and gather experience and solid reputation. Location, planning, design, structure and integrity, these are a some of the key factors you must consider. 2 Likes |

Nice thread and comments. Somebody has already involved juju. I wish your location is Abuja. And you produce a good quality bread. Even if you are in one bush there, people must locate you and you will sell. When I was there, I patronize only one bakery. The worst is that their bread can only be bought from their shops and it's far from my end. Bread makers can never be enough. About your marketers, they pay them according to the number of breads they sell. Bear that in mind please. 7 Likes |

I don't really know the kind of bread u want to do. If it is to be the normal agege bread you can start with 600k or even less. Ask me how? You don't need to buy all the equipment for start. You just have to rent a bakery and join association, then you start. With 600k, you are good to go. But there is disadvantage in it. The only disadvantage is that you will pay the owner of the bakery per bag of flour you bake... I have done it and it work for me. Now I have my own bakery... 4 Likes |

Rebuke: I don't know a lot about bakeries BUT seeing you struggle to get info both here and with real bakers, I would proffer a solution. Get one or two good/practically inclined books on (production) baking. And watch as many videos as possible on YouTube to supplement, making your own tweaks where necessary. It is just pricing/sizing that you have to look around to understand (since you'll still sell in a local market) . And that should not be a problem. In this age, More than any other time in history, access to Information cannot be the problem. 3 Likes |

Rebuke:Those first two reasonable comments are the best shots. Don't be lazy, investment requires more than online enquiry. Online enquiry is good when u r making moves, updating online and getting practical advice as necessary. 1, do ur feasibility right (practical not phone or enquiry) 2. Get ur figures (market price ) both on cost and expenditure. 3. Find out the potententials in the business (online can work a bit here but not as effective as ur local area market survey) get it and accurately. 4. Determine your start up capital (which u r assuming 600k), bep, roi and other logistics from day 1 (ie business plan). 5. Most importantly, 600k can only do Nada! That's just the basic truth. Mind you, if u want to have peace of mind, do all the necessary registrations and get the necessary license(s) to run the business. Join or affiliate ur self with relevant association or organisations will help u run ur biz with peace (talking from experience tho). Now, let's do small calculation; Bakery rent or acquisition, nowhere u won't need lesser than 250k. Locally constructed 25kg mixer won't cost u lesser than 150 - 200k, befitting regulated baking oven1.5-2.5, if u need result. Materials, other tools, workers salary must be projected for at least 6months b4 profit expectation. All these things are the things u need to put into consideration. Wish u well tho. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Thread For Bakery Owners And Intending Owners In Nigeria by Sunmolar(m): 9:22am On Jan 15, 2019 |
if your land & vehicle is in place,a budget of 1m will get you the registration, production room, mud oven, milling machines,pan and the ingredients for start up in small capacity. Even a steel-brick insulated oven alone could cost you as much as #600k.it depends on...projection & standard of quality & efficiency. a lister milling machine plus installation may cost you #200k. |

Re: Thread For Bakery Owners And Intending Owners In Nigeria by Nyamo: 9:38am On Jan 15, 2019 |
To start a bakery business, *You need to define your target market *Determine the scale of production (Large Scale Mass Production or a Pilot One Stop Shop)) *Determine Product type(Standard or Premium Brands). Therefore depending on which of the options you chose enumerated above you can plan the capital outlay. The larger the scale of production the higher the capital outlay in terms of size of equipment and raw materials. However with only N600k, I will advise you begin on a small scale (ONE STOP SHOP PILOT scheme) to taste the market, see what consumers around prefer and then increase production as demand increases. With this you wont need a delivery van for distribution and other incidental costs that is associated with Mass Production. *N350K can get you home made fairly used (second hand) electrical Mixer & Oven. *Rent a small Shop and partition it with N100K where you do your production and and display your products. *Use N100 to buy start up raw materials like few bags of flour, additives, packing leather etc. *N50k shall be your working capital to meet staff costs, utilities and other exigencies. Good luck brother. 2 Likes 1 Share |

first and formost, pls I want to ask are u in lagos? I am a cook, chef, and a baker.I am avaliable for any vacancy. For buttterfield bread if you ask me, my opinion and answer is No they are not best as far as bread production is concern. bread deepened on the mixture, the mixer and the oven. a baker must master this three things to get a complete result. e.g continually using your oven togather with your mixer pluse perfect mixing will give you a satisfactory result. 3 Likes |

I got your points. I concur with the bolded. I have countless of folks in diaspora that regreted Investing in Naija. Even when you are on ground, the heartless ones have their ways to run people coming abroad down. My first job was with a man that had lived in USA for 25yrs to establish a company, and he spent close to 30million naira on the projects. To cut the story short, some workers colluded and ran the company down. This man is dead now. AreaFada2: |
