#3 Land and Building for biscuit business

If you are starting a small-scale or home-based biscuit business, then you can easily start it in an area of about 1,400-2,000 square feet. You can also start it in a very small area, but please do not go below 500 square feet.

But in a large-scale cookie business, you need a proper area to store all the raw materials, baking machines, etc., So you need at least an area of about 10,000-14,000 square feet to start a large-scale biscuit business.

#4 Workers for starting a cookie business

The taste of cookies is all about the skill of the workers. They play a very important role in its taste. 

Talking about a small-scale cookie-making business, you need to hire at least 1-2  workers to manage the supply of raw material, to manage delivery, to manage your website, and stuff like that.

On the other hand, on a large scale, apart from the above-mentioned workers, you need to hire skilled workers for making cookies and some other workers to clean and manage your organisation.

Apart from that, you have to bear the cost of electricity and water in your organisation.

#5 Domain and web hosting

Since in the 21st century, it is necessary to switch any business online, so you need to buy a good domain name and web hosting for your cookie business.

How to reduce the cost of starting a cookie business

Efficiency and effectiveness are one of the best ways to reduce the cost of any business. You can save a lot of money in cookie manufacturing by hiring well-skilled workers.

I know that hiring skilled workers will be a little bit costly, but they will do all the work on time and also do minimum wastage of raw material and other resources, which in the end, reduces the cost of production per piece of biscuit.

Apart from that, if you have good negotiation skills, then you can save a lot of money by negotiating on the prices of raw materials like flour, cumin seeds, etc.

How to arrange funds for the cookie-making business?

On a small scale, you can use your own savings or may take help from various schemes of the government to start the cookie-making business.

But in a large-scale cookie business, your personal savings will not be sufficient, so you have to take funds from an investor (if you do not bother sharing profits) or need to take a bank loan to arrange funds.

In my personal opinion starting a small scale business, whether it is cookie making or pen manufacturing business or any other business, is straightforward because, on a small scale, a person does not require enough funds, does not have to  fulfill any legal obligations, and also does not have to pay huge taxes to the government. 

How to advertise a cookie business?

Look, today’s generation needs perfection. They can pay a lot of money for perfection. So, in my opinion, it is best to make your skill of making cookies the best before advertising.

After that, advertise your cookie-making business on various social media platforms like Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram. These platforms give you the facility to serve targeted ads to people near your area.

After advertising, give the best cookies to customers at affordable wages so that they will never go to others and become loyal towards your organisation.
