How can a bakery business loan help me?

Inventory

As you know all too well, you can’t run a successful bakery business without making sure you have sufficient inventory. Stay ahead of demand by investing in a longer lead of inventory and working with fulfillment partners to manage it. Don’t make your customers wait for you, be prepared to meet their needs at any given moment. You’ll also need to consider the financial burden of food going bad if it isn’t sold.

Equipment

In addition to stocking your inventory, you’ll also need the proper equipment to store, preserve, and display your goods. This might include industrial sized fridges and freezers, heating systems, hydration systems, and display shelving. Bakery equipment doesn’t come without a hefty price tag. Use a bakery business loan to deck out your business with all of the necessary equipment.

Staffing and Payroll

Bakery businesses require a large number of staff to operate. Leveraging a bakery business loan enables you to fulfill your payroll commitments while freeing up operating capital for initiatives and potential growth prospects. By giving yourself this freedom, you can expand your business and boost your cash flow health, giving you a stronger position in the long run.

Interesting facts about the bakery industry in Canada

  • According to data from FCC, bakeries are the fastest growing food sector, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 5.4% since 2015.
  • Foodservice demand fell as much as 61% in April, dragging down bakery manufacturing after a strong Q1. Food service has begun a slow recovery and is still down over last year. Despite all the disruptions, bakery manufacturing sales are up 6.7% through July.
  • Many bakeries use plastic for packaging products. This usage increased with production shifting to consumer packaging from food service. Expect calls for more eco-friendly and less plastic usage to persist post-pandemic as governments implement new green policies. Middle to high-income households are willing to pay more for green packaging, but higher costs make it difficult to see widespread adoption at this stage.
