Please what do you mean that bakery is not for the faint hearted

Bakery (loaf) business is delicate.....especially in Nigeria, not stable at all...u could hit millions in a month and bankrupt (x3) the following month......
If u have anyone u fit trust to help u manage it while u self go dey come there after work and especially in the weekends until u re very sure say hin don stable....




" pls make sure u re nice to ur bakers, its very important, especially if u don't have any knowledge about it all.

. In most local places, they will require you one "stuff" or the other like that. If you are a Muslim, Christian, or traditionalist, it must be a strong one to not give in to them. You know what I mean?

What's your wife doing? Is she currently working...
You can test waters for 3 months by getting your wife to oversee the bakery for two days ( Tuesday and Thursday). You will run staggered production... For now operate strictly 3 or 4 day week cycle.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
While you take over weekends ( sat & Sun)

See how it goes for the 3 months,then you decide whether to go full scale.
Target the retail end by getting the retailers to buy directly from you (your bakery) ... ₦100,150,200 ₦500. units of bread move faster... ₦150 and ₦200 especially if you live in a youth dominant environment.

Congrats chief, bread money is daily money..

I understand what you mean but I guess that should not be my problem for now when I get to that bridge I will cross it

She's working also and she has no experience running bakery unlike me

I just want to be sure of what am doing

Thanks for your address bro

Good...

Bread don cost.

.

Why not allow your wife run the bakery business,while you continue with your Banking job,at your leisure you can still go and supervise them at the bakery.

You mentioned its already setup... Can i know what and what you already have?

Don't try it! Go and work at least part-time in a bakery first.

The last person I know who did this entered serious financial and debt problems! Go first and learn the rudiments and tricks of the trade before putting your hard-earned savings in it.

Start sharp sharp, inflation is killing the salary earners ooooo

Well, what can i say, but... good luck.

Correct ... anyone discouraging you, ignore.

Just make bread for the masses - 2h to 5h. You're alright.

Please don't leave the 100k job ooo

Bakery is a nepa kind of business not stable oo

I even sold my own out sef

Ok o

You don't have to leave the job.
Hire someone you trust to manage the business while you continue with your job.

100% GOOD IDEA......
BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BREAD IS SO NICE AND SWEET.....



SEE YOU @ TOP.

You'll be fine if you are committed .

My one cent, get people that can work over night; 9pm to 1am under your supervision and continue your work by day. Bread business is not lucrative as before

Ggg

Best decision ever, I was discussing with a friend about this last night. Salary earning no matter how good it is, isn't worth it. I've not received salaries for some months now, Thank God for my consulting gig that has helped me not turn into a beggar. With months of no salary, even if my salaries get paid tomorrow, I'm going to concentrate on my consultancy services and probably expand into other businesses. I now see my main job as a side hustle.

My experience though.

Abeg.. do lawyers really make money ?

think b4 u jump.I heard say bread is now GOLD back home there.Hope if ur customers dnt sell it all,u go take ur loss ?
Pa Bubu don scatter all there

Great decision

Keep it Go Ng and you won't regret it

Okay ceo

May God be with you as you seek to become an Employer of Labour instead of a Labourer
Good luck and Congratulations Op
