Business Partner
I will be applying for a business grant this summer once I complete all the necessary details to start a baking business. The only problem is, that I need a partner that will be as passionate and knowledgable as I am about baking. A little background info: I will be earning my journeymans in the near future and then take the steps to become a pastry chef - my dream title. I know for a fact that I get sick a few times a year an would not want my business to suffer by not being able to run it those days/weeks. This is something I've been planning for a long while and want it to be run properly from business plan to execution to success. I would like just myself and one other person to run the business and then hire workers IF I absolutely need; I know of successful bakeries run by 2 people only. How should I go about finding a proper business partner? Advertising? Surveys? Or start the business and find a partner once I'm in business? Thanks.

I don't know a lot about running a business but I
can give you my opinion.
I think if you are in school learning about baking, that would be a good place to start. You will want someone who thinks like you do, someone who you can get along with.
I think other bakers already in business, baking schools & then advertising would be the order I would try.
Perhaps someone in the business may know someone else who is interested, but just doesn't want to go it alone. Stop in or call & ask if you might talk to the owner of a bake shop you know of. If nothing else he/she may have some tips or good advise on how to get started.
Looking at students from baking schools will get you in touch with those who share your passion for baking. Take advantage of the schools bulletin boards& see if anyone else has a dream of a business.
If none of those work, advertise. Good luck!
