What's your business, and who are your customers?
Bakefully Yours is an allergy-friendly bakery, providing paleo and vegan-friendly treats to retailers and individual customers nationwide.
Tell us about yourself
I started the business when I was 22 in 2016. I was eating a strict paleo diet at the time and couldn't find great tasting bakery treats in stores that fell under the paleo diet. I started baking treats at home and decided to launch the bakery at a farmers market. My amazing employees and customers motivate me every day to keep the business open and growing!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Opening our new production facility in 2020.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Having all of the responsibility on your shoulders to run the company as best as possible.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Don't think too much about it and just start the business.
