How to start a bakery business.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Choose home bakery or storefront
A home bakery keeps costs low and lets you test demand through pre-orders, pickup and markets. A storefront or shared commercial kitchen costs more but opens up walk-in trade and wholesale.
02
Follow your local food rules
Many areas allow selling some baked goods from home under cottage food rules, often with limits on what and where you sell. Check with your local health department, register your business and get insurance before your first sale.
03
Build a focused menu
Start with a short menu you can bake well and consistently, with one signature item people talk about. Price each item after adding up ingredients, packaging and your time, and take pre-orders to avoid waste.
04
Get a brand people remember
Your AI team does this
Your AI team suggests names, designs a logo and builds a brand kit for your boxes, labels and market stall.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start a bakery business?[ + ][ − ]
A home bakery can start with the kitchen you have, plus ingredients, packaging, registration and insurance. A storefront adds rent, commercial equipment and fit-out. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
Can I start a bakery from home?[ + ][ − ]
In many places, yes. Cottage food rules often let you sell certain baked goods made at home, with limits on products, sales channels and labeling. Rules vary a lot, so check with your local health department first.
How do I get customers for a new bakery?[ + ][ − ]
Show the food. Photos of your bakes, a clear menu, easy ordering and local ads aimed at people nearby. Your AI team builds the brand, website and launch posts from one brief.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
Fast, when you’ve answered enough for your team to build. Of the founders whose site went live, half were live within about 20 minutes of signing up and nine in ten inside a day. Payments and a custom domain need a few steps only you can do.
Can I cancel anytime?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You keep everything that’s already shipped — your site, your assets, your data, your accounts.
