    Getting ovens through doors is one of those behind the scenes challenges that nobody talks about. We are in the process of opening our third location and it’s always a problem.

    I’m in NC now but this had me missing my hometown!!!! It has been 8 years since I’ve been home. I was watching shorts until I saw one of yours. I saw out the window as you said something about moving to the Central Valley so I thought maybe I’ve been to that area. Born and raised in Visalia. I even went to Redwood High School which is down the street from your bakery. I need to get home. I’m sure it has changed drastically the last time I was there.

    • @brookedarwin
      @brookedarwin  Před 3 dny

      As far as I remember, I had to set up a business tax account, and an account with the health department. You’ll also need people to have their serve-safe certifications, schedule an inspection with the health department. Our attorney set up the business as a small corporation, so I’m not sure what was needed for that but you can also go llc or DBA if it will just be you. I’d ask an accountant what they think would be best for the business you plan on opening.
