I am planning starting a bread making business by January. I will start purchasing the equipment by next week.
Although I was advised to start small and expand later

If you are in the business already I need your advice on what type of equipment to buy and where to get them.

Nice biz, its good to start small as u hv mentioned, but how small is small? what kind of equipment are you looking for? You can actually start this biz without owning even its most essential tool, your own oven, whatever the decision, u hv 3 major kind of oven to choose from, but all these are not most important, as a commodity,bread is just like pure water, for which the most vital thing is how to market it.

With the high demand this may sound strange, but if you are in a city like Lagos u may recollect how many 'good' bread brands have disappeared from the market

The irony of it is that, there is no item on your shopping list that u can not get to hire or buy on credit. Yes from pans,ovens, to sugar butter flour & even marketers!

Whereas people may not be willing to give a self sustainig entrant FREE info to this particular kind of 'lucrative' business, but the moment u start to hire resources, positive interractions are likely to evolve, and people will start giving the best shades of advice to keep u alive, it is left for u to know when u hv taken enough to go SOLO!

Best of Luck !

@Oduz, it seem you are knowledgeable about the business but you threw more questions to the poster than he even asked. You said there are 3 major kinds of oven, what are they? Please mention. The vital thing in bread production is marketing according to you. So hou should he market? The brand of breads that went into extinction, what happened? Did people refuse to eat or competition drove them out of business? Answering these questions will give life to the thread. Thanks.
