Biscuit production: LLC registration procedure + recipe for preparation + purchase of equipment for the workshop + ingredients for making biscuits + where to rent premises + who needs to be hired + product sales + when the investment in the business pays off.

We all love sweets, and almost no one can do without such a treat as cookies. Someone buys it for themselves, someone for the kids. For a year, any sweet tooth, on average, eats 5-6 kilograms of flour confectionery. Also cookies in beautiful packaging are a popular gift.

From this, the conclusion suggests itself that the production of cookies is a good undertaking for an entrepreneur, especially if he knows a lot about baking.

How to set up a business for the production of cookies and sale?

There are two ways to organize your enterprise in the legal field.

A simpler form that is suitable for small businessmen is the registration of the status of an individual entrepreneur. Registration will require a minimum of money and documents, but an individual entrepreneur is more suitable for those who make cookies at home and plan to sell in small batches.

Even a small workshop should already be registered as an LLC (limited liability company). The fact is that investors and other business partners trust legal entities more. Even banks in this case are ready to make concessions and issue loans at a favorable interest rate.

Fill out a standard application - form No. Р11001.
Provide 2 copies of the protocol on the establishment of the LLC.
Draw up the articles of association of the company.
Pay 4 thousand rubles (state duty) at the bank, and bring the check to the tax inspector.
Prepare documents that prove the legality of registration of a legal address.
You will also need a passport and TIN of the applicant, i.е. LLC founder.

Even before submitting documents to the tax service, you need to register a legal address. You can use your home for this purpose if you are the owner of an apartment or house, and the co-owners have nothing against this decision.

Consider a name for your biscuit factory, such as Vkusnyashka LLC or Pechenyushka.

In the application, you must indicate the code of the activity of your enterprise according to OKVED. 10.72.31 - "Production of cookies" is best suited.

A very important point when submitting documents to the inspection is the choice of taxation. A lot here depends on how you are going to sell products on the Russian market, as well as how much income the company has.

The simplified taxation system is acceptable only for those who earn up to 150 million rubles a year. This is stated in Art. 346.13, paragraph 4. Tax Code of the Russian Federation ( https://www.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc&base=LAW&n=291277&rnd=761ED808878DB83FA5500D8D159EEF91&from=200297-16741#025051237718124364)

Under this system, your factory will pay 15% of the difference between income and expenses for the production of biscuits. There is also an option to pay only 6% of net profit, but the first one is much more profitable for beginner businessmen.

It is necessary to independently take care of the supply of products to stores or large resellers, i.e. to establish their own logistics in order not to resort to the services of carriers - these are extra costs.

note: in the event that the biscuit production plant plans to work with wholesale dealers, then the simplification will have to be abandoned. The fact is that wholesale customers require factories to provide an invoice, as well as allocate VAT.

After completing the registration procedure, order a seal with the name of the company and open a bank account.

Stages of production: how are cookies prepared in large batches?

Even before preparing cookies, you need to decide what assortment you want to offer your consumers. Do some research or look for data on what kind of cookies people in your city prefer.

If we talk in general about the taste needs of the inhabitants of Russia, then people most often buy oatmeal, dry or sugar cookies. The best sellers are crackers, biscuits with marmalade or butter cream, dry biscuits according to the Maria recipe.

You can use standard recipes or come up with your own new options, but it's better to choose both directions. So you can please those who love the classics, and provide the consumer with a new product that will be different from the product of competitors.

By and large, the technology for making cookies is standard for any type, except that it has some differences depending on the type:

Mixing dry ingredients	All the necessary ingredients (dry) are weighed, and then combined in proportions that correspond to the recipe.
Dough kneading	The finished mixture must be sent to special equipment (dough mixer) and all liquid ingredients (milk, water, condensed milk, cream, etc.) must be added. Only after that sugar and flour are added. It takes a certain amount of time to mix the dough (according to the recipe).
Formation	The dough is formed by workers manually or with the help of a special machine.
Sintering step	At this stage, the formed cookies are sent to the oven.
Cooling	Chilled biscuits can be glazed using an automatic machine or manually.
Package	At the last stage, the cookies are packed in boxes, which should not let water and moisture through.

Cookies have a short shelf life - about 1-3 months. This one is delicious only when fresh. Therefore, at the first stages of the formation of a business, it is not necessary to produce large batches of cookies in order to be able to sell everything and not have to throw out a return.

Equipment for the production of biscuits - purchase of the main ...

For the production of cookies at home, you do not need to purchase equipment. Every baking lover has an oven, containers for mixing ingredients, whisks, etc.

But for those who want to cook cookies for sale in large quantities, you will need to purchase special equipment. It will not work to produce a product by hand, prepare money for a complete line.

Equipment for the production of biscuits - what should be in the factory?

mixer;
forming automatic machine;
bake;
equipment that will apply the glaze;
packing machine;
refrigeration equipment that will speed up the cooling process of the finished cookies.
machine for sifting flour before making cookies.

We suggest you purchase a fully equipped biscuit production line, which will consist of all the above automatic machines - this is the most profitable option for beginners.

The pricing policy of equipment is different, depending on the country of manufacture, year of manufacture, quality, list of functions, power, etc. The average cost of such a line is approximately 4,000,000 rubles.

As a rule, packaging machines are not included in the biscuit production line, this equipment will have to be purchased separately. The average cost is 600,000 rubles.

You will also need to purchase a uniform for the workers of the production workshop and office furniture:

№.	Equipment	Quantity	Total cost (rub.)
Total:			103 000 rubles
1.	Table	4	12 000
2.	Chairs	6	8 000
3.	Notebook	3	60 000
4.	a printer	1	2 000
5.	Form for bakers	10	5 000
6.	locker room	1	14 000
7.	Stationery set	1	2 000

The minimum set of raw materials for making cookies

The purchase of the necessary raw materials plays an important role in the preparation of a quality product.

You must find a good supplier who will always bring only fresh ingredients for your cookies, never be late with deliveries, and have documents on the quality of the product.

Allocate a lot of time for the search and selection of partners, leave only the best. After all, the final result depends on the quality of the raw materials, how your cookies will taste, how long they will be stored in the warehouse.

№	Raw materials for biscuits	Weight	Total amount (rub.)
Total:			929 500 rubles
1.	Flour	5 t	50 000
2.	Sugar	3 t	240 000
3.	Melange	1 t	230 000
4.	Egg powder	100 kg	9 500
5.	Fats	2 t	220 000
6.	Flavors	50 kg	30 000
7.	Baking powder	100 kg	150 000

Additionally, you can buy peanuts, condensed milk, milk, chocolate, raisins, and other dried fruits to diversify the range of biscuit production.

Rental of premises for a workshop for the production of biscuits

If you are going to purchase a whole production line that will bake cookies in large quantities, then you will need a fairly large room - at least 150-200 m2. The height of the ceilings should be up to 4 meters so that it is not hot and all equipment is freely placed.

In the rented premises, you will have not only equipment for the production of cookies, but also locker rooms, change houses for workers, offices of administrative staff, a warehouse for finished products.

It is best to organize the work of the plant outside the city, this will help save on rent.

Don't forget that you are preparing food. In connection with this circumstance, an inspection from the SES, Rospotrebnadzor and the Fire Inspectorate will surely come to you.

Each department has its own task:

SES will check the premises for cleanliness and absence of rodents, cockroaches and other insects. Also, this inspection body needs to present documents from suppliers of raw materials, on the quality of the supplied products, as well as a certificate of serviceability of all equipment.
Rospotrebnadzor will control the production technology and the final result. If the production of cookies does not have any deviations, then you will be issued a quality certificate.
The fire inspectorate will check the ventilation, the presence of a fire-fighting system in the room.

Choose a place where water, gas and electricity will already be carried out, it is also desirable to have a telephone line and the Internet. It is important that a car can freely drive up to the workshop in order to load a large consignment of goods.

Renting a room will cost about 150 thousand rubles for 1 month.

Whom to hire for the production of cookies?

To organize the work of the production of cookies, you will need to hire several employees. At the initial stage, the workshop will work 5 days with 8-hour shifts. In the future, you can switch to 2 shifts and increase the number of full-time employees.

Be sure to ask all employees, even administrative staff, for medical books with fresh seals from the medical commission. An inspection is required every six months. Do not allow sick workers to have access to raw or cooked biscuits!

№.	Position	Amount of workers	Total salary RUB/month
Total:			285 000 rubles
1.	manager or accountant	1	40 000
2.	Production technologist	1	30 000
3.	workers	5	100 000
4.	Marketer	1	30 000
5.	Loader	3	45 000
6.	Cleaning woman	1	10 000
7.	Security guard	2	30 000

How to sell cookies in the market?

One of the most important points that closes the idea of opening a biscuit production workshop is the sale of biscuits. After all, if your product does not reach the consumer, and no one wants to buy it, then there will be no profit, and all your investments will simply be lost.

What needs to be done to establish the sale of cookies in the Russian market:

Study what kind of cookies are loved in your city, what is missing, the pricing policy of competitors. Based on these data, you can find a middle ground for yourself. For example, to produce the favorite cookies of the townspeople, but at a reduced price. Another option is to produce something new, because people like to buy something tasty and unusual for tea.
Do not stop at the production of only one type of cookie, experiment more often.

New species are best produced and sold in small batches.

Biscuits must be sold in bulk. Draw up contracts with pastry shops, supermarkets, shops, etc. Opening your own store at the first stage is not worth it, this will entail additional costs, which in the end may not pay off.

As for advertising, order posters with a vivid image of your products, indicate that you have quality certificates. Place such advertising in retail outlets where cookies will be sold. It will cost you about 3000 rubles, depending on the size and material of the poster.

The most popular confectionery purchased by Russians for tea is biscuits.

Most consumers in our country buy it regularly, both spontaneously, taking it on the way to the checkout, and planning the purchase in advance, before going to the supermarket.

The production of various types of biscuits in our country totals more than 900 tons per year, and the demand on the market not only remains at a high level, but also grows steadily - by 8-10% annually. Of course, there is considerable competition here, because the business is profitable.

And at the same time, both large confectionery factories and small producers coexist, which in this specific segment can successfully compete for the tastes and loyalty of consumers. Today, the confectionery niche is almost completely filled, but there is still room for new players, whose products, with a competent approach and high quality, can take their place on the grocery store shelf, and then on the table of the end consumer. We will try to tell you in this article how to organize your own production of cookies, which will be able to win back a share on the confectionery counter.

The main steps for organizing a mini-workshop for making cookies

Unlike a number of other products, where it is not easy for small companies to compete with market giants, in the confectionery business, in particular in the manufacture of cookies, success can quickly come to small-scale production. The most important thing here is the quality, taste, assortment and the presence of the very zest that will attract the attention of the consumer to the product.

Therefore, feel free to count on the fact that your own mini-biscuit production workshop can easily turn into a successful, profitable and profitable business. However, despite such bright prospects, you will have to work hard to be able to express yourself from the best side. To do this, you first need to draw up a business plan, which will reflect and carefully consider the following points:

type and range of products;
cookie production technology, stages;
equipment (what, in what quantity);
premises for the organization of the workshop;
sales of production products (channels);
calculation of costs and expected profit.

All these issues are essential, and it is their correct solution that affects the final result - the quality of the finished biscuits, the availability of demand and, as a result, profit.

We define the assortment of our workshop

There are many types of cookies. Depending on the technology, as well as the composition (sugar and fat content), dough of various properties can be obtained. Butter cookies are especially popular, from which a variety of cookies are made: shortbread-removable, which is sweeter and fatter, and shortbread-jigging - less fat and plastic.

As a result, you will have a very wide assortment (sugar, protracted, crackers and biscuits, etc.), which can be even more varied in shape, size, finish, various fillings and additives. You can determine which type of product to offer to consumers by interviewing the buyers themselves and analyzing the market and competitors in your region.

See what others are doing and do something new. Or old, but in a new interpretation - with unexpected fillings, combinations, other forms and original presentation. If the consumer notices and appreciates your cookie, then you have a trump card.

Technology and production stages

Regardless of what type of cookie you make and what its recipe is, all the main steps are almost the same. How is the production of cookies? The steps in this process can be divided into the following:

preparation of raw materials;
kneading and shaping the dough;
baking and cooling;
package.

As a rule, the following ingredients are used to prepare the dough: premium flour, sugar, fats, egg powder, melange, baking powder, flavorings and various additives. Depending on the type of product, nuts, dried fruits, poppy and sesame seeds, jams, condensed milk, etc. can be used. You will determine the need for certain components together with the technologist, having developed an assortment and choosing a recipe for each type of cookie.

Cookie making steps

The cooking process looks like this:

all ingredients are weighed and put into the kneading machine in a certain sequence (kneading is carried out for 15 minutes);
then egg powder / melange is added, as well as water and, if necessary, condensed milk (stirring continues for about 10 minutes);
at the very end, syrup, sifted flour, starch are added (knead for another 5 minutes);
the resulting dough is divided into parts, which are rolled into layers - individual portions are cut out of them using special forms or rotational molding machines;
cookies are baked in ovens and cooled;
if necessary, glaze, interlayer is applied, various drawings and other decorations are made;
cookies are packaged (in portions or in batches, in cardboard boxes, bags, etc.).

In general, this is how the production of cookies takes place - the whole process from start to finish. There is nothing complicated in it, and you can master the technology within a few days if you have a good technologist. The specifics of each stage may vary depending on whether it is carried out manually or using special equipment. We will talk about it further.

Equipment needed to organize a mini-workshop

As mentioned above, some steps in the manufacture of cookies (for example, molding) can be carried out manually. This largely determines which equipment for the production of cookies is mandatory to purchase, and which one can be dispensed with. For a mini-workshop, it is permissible to include "manual stages" in the process, because the volumes here are not as large as in large factories. However, each workshop should have the following items:

flour sifter;
kneader/mixer;
dough machine;
rotary/convection oven;
refrigeration equipment;
packaging machines.

In addition, a glazing line and other additional devices may be needed. If possible, it is better to use not Russian, but European equipment for cookies. So, for example, Italian molding machines are of higher quality and wider functionality, which will expand the range of products and improve their appearance. Choosing the right oven is also important.

Search for premises for a mini-workshop

It is also important where your cookie production will be located. The choice of a suitable room should be given no less attention than the purchase of equipment. Since cookies are food products, the various nuances of their manufacture (how, on what, where, under what conditions) are regulated by Rospotrebnadzor. A number of mandatory requirements are imposed on the production workshop:

the area should be sufficient to accommodate the entire set of equipment on it, as well as the organization of storage and amenity premises (rooms for staff, director's and accountant's office, shower room and bathroom);
repairs must comply with the requirements of sanitary rules (details about them can be found in the sanitary and epidemiological supervision);
fire safety standards must be observed in the room;
on the territory of the confectionery shop, all communications (sewerage, water supply, electricity) must be carried out.

For a workshop starting its activity, it is possible to rent production areas on the territory of a catering enterprise, if there are free ones. In addition, the landlord may have some of the equipment you need. This will help reduce costs at the very beginning, and with a favorable development of affairs, move to an independent premises.

Sales channels for mini-workshop products

As already mentioned, the demand in this segment of the confectionery market is quite high, despite the large number of small and large manufacturers. Therefore, you can safely claim a share in it. It is better to sell the products of your workshop through several channels, which include:

wholesalers selling products to retailers;
grocery chains - regional and federal;
HoReCa sphere (supply to cafes and restaurants).

For each of these channels, there can be either a separate assortment of products, or the same one (but in different volumes and packaging).

Financial plan for opening a mini-shop for making cookies

The initial investment in organizing your own mini-workshop is mainly related to the purchase of equipment. Good equipment, especially foreign-made, is not cheap. However, once you invest a significant amount in a quality molding machine, oven and other devices, you will be able to use their power for a long time and reap the result of work. On average, equipment for a mini-workshop will cost from 500-600 thousand rubles. In addition, the main items of expenditure should include:

rent (depending on the area) - up to 150 thousand rubles;
remuneration of personnel (7-10 people) - up to 150-200 thousand rubles;
transport, utility and other expenses - up to 100 thousand rubles;
purchase of raw materials - depending on production volumes.

Naturally, the greater the production, the greater the costs, but the revenue is greater. In this case, we are talking about a small workshop that can produce up to 15 tons of cookies per month on average. The wholesale price of one ton of products is about 40 thousand rubles, which means that the monthly revenue will reach about 600 thousand rubles. And the net profit will be about 150 thousand minus all expenses.

When will it pay off?

The profitability of biscuit production with a favorable outcome is approximately 20-25%. And the initial investment will pay off in less than a year (7-10 months). If the investments are higher, then the payback period can increase up to two years, since the cost of equipment for large-scale production reaches several million rubles, which will be transferred to finished products much longer.

Summarizing

Thus, a mini-workshop for a novice biscuit maker with minimal experience is the most preferable. Small production is more flexible, cost effective and much easier to control to maintain high product quality.

Cookies are a favorite delicacy familiar to everyone since childhood. It needs no introduction and has been popular with consumers for many years. Thanks to modern technologies, this business is reaching a new level of development. An increasing number of entrepreneurs want to try themselves in this niche.

Biscuit production as a business

Establishing the production of cookies is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. This dessert is in demand on the market, buyers love it, and with a competent approach on your part, you can easily organize the sale of products. In order for a business to grow, it needs customers. No customers - no revenue. Accordingly, this point should be very well thought out.

Due to its demand and relatively quick payback, this niche in business is very popular.. And to take your place in it, you have to use all the creativity. Come up with a new recipe, original design, unusual packaging. After all, you need to stand out among the many competitors. Do not forget about the taste of the product: if the buyer likes everything, then quick success is guaranteed.

The steps to start a cookie business are given below.

home production

Microbusiness is suitable for those who want to test this niche first and test themselves as an entrepreneur. You will need ordinary household kitchen appliances, your own recipe and a lot of free time if you want to do all the processes yourself. You can involve family members in this, then it is quite realistic to achieve great success.

First of all, come up with an idea or your own original recipe that will be interesting for customers to try. After that, proceed directly to the process of implementing the idea:

purchase the necessary products;
replenish your stock of household appliances, if necessary;
make a trial batch;
calculate the quantity of all ingredients per batch to calculate its cost;
do not forget to take into account the cost of electricity;
calculate the time required to make one batch of cookies;
analyze the market of competitors;
set the optimal price for your product, taking into account all costs and margins;
start implementing.

To start promoting a business for the production of homemade cookies, you can use social networks: create groups there, give paid advertising on the Internet. Start your own blog and offer products there. Another promotion option is to arrange cookies in beautiful packaging and position them as original gifts for various holidays. For example, in the form of some symbols, trademarks, etc. Everything is in your hands!

The advantages of such a business are that at the initial stage you do not have to invest in the purchase of professional equipment, rent a room, or hire staff. You can do everything yourself. And if everything works out, then we can think about expanding production.

With this option of doing business, you do not need to immediately register as an individual entrepreneur. However, when you put the activity on stream, and you already have systematic sales, it will be an entrepreneurial activity. According to the legislation, business without registration is illegal, and various levels of responsibility are provided for this: from administrative to criminal.

Workshop organization

To create a large-scale production, you will need an appropriate room. Since the production is food, all sanitary rules and regulations must be observed. Convenient access roads should be laid to the building, it is also necessary to equip it with sewerage and uninterrupted supply of electricity and water.

Modern technologies make it possible to put the production of cookies on stream using an automated line. The minimum price of such a line is from 3,000,000 rubles. To start a business, this is quite an impressive investment. But there is a way out - you can buy used equipment, it's much cheaper. Or start with simpler devices, replacing some of the production processes with manual labor. And when you have built up a sufficient customer base, it will be possible to modernize the shop.

According to statistics, the market in our country is characterized by a small but stable annual increase in the production and sale of cookies. For several years, the market volume has increased by more than 15%. According to surveys, consumers like oatmeal (18.6%) and sugar (18.3%) biscuits the most. They are followed by dry biscuits, crackers and kurabyo. If you focus on these types of cookies in production, you will not miss. But be sure to add something of your own to compete with well-known brands.

The biggest problem for popular manufacturers is working on outdated equipment. In addition, delivery is not possible in all regions; in remote places, the final price of the product may be too high for the consumer. This is where local mini-productions come into play. And if you start working on modern equipment with a competent marketing strategy, you will surely be able to find your niche in the market.

To get started you will need:

dough mixer for making dough, it can be of two types: with a jacket for cooling and heating the dough mass and without it;
molding machine (if you have a mini-workshop, you can get by with manual labor);
equipment for processing the top of cookies (glazing, if necessary);
baking oven;
equipment for packaging (you can hire workers for this);
refrigerators for storage of raw materials and finished products;
flour sifter - used in the confectionery industry to remove all harmful and foreign impurities from flour (price from 25,000 rubles);
icing machine - applies icing to finished cookies. It is also possible to apply it to curd cheeses, sweets (equipment price from 50,000 rubles);
jigging machine for forming products - the price starts from 110,000 rubles;
rack oven for baking confectionery - a high-quality oven costs from 130,000 rubles;
dough mixer - this equipment costs from 127,000 rubles;
horizontal type packaging machine - the price of such machines starts from 380,000 rubles.

The area of the production premises should be from 200 sq. m. This area houses not only a production workshop, but also warehouses for storing the necessary raw materials and finished products, a staff room, and a bathroom. An office can also be located there. Also make sure that the production room is equipped with heat supply and ventilation.

Business plan

In order for your business to go uphill, you need to draw up a detailed business plan. Consider the following points:

Assortment and types of products.
Production technologies.
Production room.
Workshop equipment.
Organization of sales of finished products.
Additional expenses.
Profit calculation.

Business registration

To organize a workshop for the production of cookies, it is necessary to register an individual entrepreneur. This is the easiest option. But if you plan to subsequently raise borrowed funds for business development, then it is better to create an LLC. When issuing a loan, banks impose increased requirements for individual entrepreneurs. Another plus of an LLC is that with this form it is easier to attract large buyers.

It is also necessary to choose a taxation system and OKVED codes (All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity).

Our business is in manufacturing. Code 10.72 - Manufacture of crackers, biscuits and other cracked bakery products, and then paragraph 10.72.31 - production of cookies is suitable for him.

The most suitable taxation system is USN (Simplified Taxation System). Since the production of cookies has a rather high cost part, it is better to choose the mode with the “income minus expenses” object. The rate on it is 15%. Additional tax incentives may apply in certain regions. STS with a rate of 6% in the production sector is usually unprofitable to use.

With the simplified tax system, you do not need to pay VAT and income tax, but you will have to accrue and pay other taxes

Required Documentation

To register an IP you will need:

Application for registration of an individual entrepreneur, form P21001 (application form can be found).
Passport and photocopy of passport.
TIN and copy of TIN.
Payment document confirming the payment of the state fee in the amount of 800 rubles.
Application for the transition to a simplified taxation system, form No. 26.2–1 (submitted in two copies).

To register an LLC, you must:

Application for registration in the form P11001 (you can download a sample application and familiarize yourself with the nuances of filling it out).
The decision of the founders to create an LLC.
LLC Charter.
Receipt of payment of the state fee for registration in the amount of 4000 rubles.
Application for the transition to a simplified taxation system.
A letter of guarantee from the owner of the legal address (location of your future LLC). You can buy or rent such an address from organizations that provide similar services in your city.
Document confirming the payment of the authorized capital of the LLC (issued by the bank).

Since the production is food, additional requirements are imposed on it. You need to obtain a number of other permits:

sanitary and epidemiological permit for production;
conclusion of the SES for work with third-party organizations;
permission from the fire department.

Prepare all the necessary documents in advance and make copies of them: this will significantly speed up the process of registering a business

Recruitment

To start a small mini-workshop, you will need about 10 employees to start. You definitely need:

Technologist.
Bakers-confectioners.
Storekeeper - loader.
Manager for the sale of finished products.

At the initial stage, you can manage production on your own; in order to save money, you can entrust accounting to an outsourcing organization.

The baker - confectioner, using a special sleeve, adds jam to the preparations of the future kurabie

Cookie making technology

To get started, decide on the choice of assortment. To do this, analyze your market, what customers like, what cookies sell best. After that, compose your assortment and be sure to add a special “chip” so that you get a “classic” product in a new form.

Regardless of the type of cookie, the whole technological process looks approximately the same:

Preparing ingredients and kneading dough. At this stage, all the necessary raw materials are accurately measured and mixed in the right proportions.
Next, the mixture is placed in a dough mixing device. Then liquid ingredients (milk, condensed milk, water, etc.) are added to it. The dough is mixed for a certain amount of time. Then flour and sugar are added to it and mixed thoroughly again.
The formation of products can be either manual or automatic, depending on your capabilities.
At the next stage, the products are placed in the oven.
After baking, the products are cooled, if necessary, decorated with glaze, etc. Both automatic and manual work are also possible here.
After icing, the biscuits are packaged and packaged.

The automatic machine is capable of making up to 5 types of cookies using nozzles of various shapes that come with the kit.

Since cookies have a short shelf life, you need to focus on the local market first. Now small shops near the production are very popular. Open your own store. Let you have a point of sale next to the workshop, where customers can always purchase fresh products at a price below the market.

Try to make connections with small candy stores and grocery convenience stores. Use stock stores. There are usually lower prices for products and a large number of buyers. It is easier and more profitable to find a common language with such stores than to buy space on the shelves of large supermarkets. Conclude an agreement with restaurants and cafes for the supply of exclusive products, interest them in a lower price. Launch an advertising campaign in major print media, on special information boards in the entrances of nearby houses. Use all available promotion channels.

Profitability calculation

The cost of starting a biscuit business is made up of the initial costs of legal registration, equipment, the cost of renting a premises, purchasing raw materials and additional costs for advertising, transportation, etc.

Table: costs of registering a legal entity

Once you have decided on the size of your future production, it is worth thinking about ways to minimize costs. In the mini-workshop version, you can save on partial replacement of machines by manual labor.

If you open a conventional workshop with an automated line, you are already saving on future re-equipment, as good professional equipment will work much longer and more efficiently than simpler analogues. In addition, such lines have the possibility of producing a larger range of products. And the assortment needs to be constantly expanded for greater market coverage.

Table: initial costs for organizing a biscuit production workshop

Further, the monthly investment will consist of the cost of raw materials, rent, advertising, utility and transport costs, to which are added the cost of wages to employees and payment for outsourcing services.

For a mini-workshop, seven employees are enough, for a larger workshop, 15 people will be required.

Table: monthly expenses for the maintenance of a biscuit production workshop

Name	Mini-workshop, rubles	Ordinary workshop, rubles
Employee salary	from 175 000	from 375 000
Insurance deductions for employees	from 38 000	from 82 000
Tax	from 13 500	from 79 000
Rent	80 000	200 000
Communal expenses	30 000	50 000
Fare	10 000	50 000
detergents	5 000	15 000
Raw material	150 000	1 444 000
Product packaging	10 000	50 000
Outsourcing	25 000	50 000

The average wholesale price of 1 ton of cookies is 41,000 rubles. The mini-workshop can produce up to 15 tons of finished products per month. The productivity of the automated workshop is up to 76 tons of cookies per month. To calculate the profit, a one-shift work schedule was taken, 22 working days per month.

Table: Biscuit Business Financial Performance

Payback when creating a mini-workshop will be about 15 months. If the production is large - 24 months. These figures are approximate, because everything depends on the demand for your products.

The business of making cookies is quite profitable. Of course, there are both pluses and minuses. It is up to you to decide which start to choose. The more investments, the higher the profit and the faster the payback.

A business built on food production is always a profitable and quite profitable event. The production of cookies as a business, in turn, has a huge advantage over all other areas - these products are in demand even without advertising. There are quite a few varieties of this beloved delicacy, and therefore it will not be superfluous to understand the intricacies of the issue.

Varieties of cookies

Every day more and more varieties of sweet treats appear on store shelves. Yes, and there are also no less fans of it.

In order not to get confused in all the variety of these products, we divide them into three main categories:

sugar cookies - the dough for its manufacture is fragile and swellable, has a tearing texture;
long biscuits - it is characterized by a lower content of fats and sugar, and the dough production process is distinguished by a special technology;
butter cookies - it contains the largest percentage of sugar, fat, egg products.

The biggest advantage of this product is its demand and long shelf life. The greatest demand is for biscuits, oatmeal, children's, biscuit, "nuts". Among the disadvantages of this line of activity can be called high competition, but it can also be overcome subject to quality standards and a constant expansion of the range.

Preparation of documents

It will be impossible to produce cookies of industrial production without a certain set of documents. We must not forget that this group of goods is food, and therefore simply registering a business is not enough here.

And yet, you need to start with this step.

If the workshop is not large, you can stop at such a form of doing business as individual entrepreneurship. Larger production assumes that you must act as an LLC.

Special requirements will be imposed on you by the sanitary and epidemiological station. Their requirements must be taken with all responsibility, since the future fate of your business will depend on this. We must not forget about the quality certificates that you need to take from your suppliers. Their absence is a direct road to the closure of your workshop.

And the third organization with which you will have to interact is Rospotrebnadzor. Do not neglect their prescriptions, because it also depends on them whether or not to be your enterprise.

How to choose a room

The biscuit production line cannot be organized under conditions that do not meet certain requirements. Attention to this issue should be given no less than the technological process. Rospotrebnadzor will monitor exactly where, how and under what conditions your product is produced.

There are a number of requirements for the workshop:

It would be nice to start by studying the existing food production in your area, perhaps someone will have a free workshop that could be rented, and with it the equipment. This would help to reduce the cost of repairs and connection of communications.

Equipment

Equipment for the production of biscuits must be of special quality if you do not want to become a hostage to endless downtime. First of all, you will need:

dough mixer;
apparatus for mixing the filling;
bake;
thermal packer;
dough divider;
conveyors;
a syringe that fills products with stuffing;
glazing machine;
emulsifier;
mixers;
refrigeration equipment;
packaging plants.

It is worth noting that modern manufacturers install automated systems on their equipment, which greatly facilitates the entire process, from kneading to baking.

Don't forget that if you own a mini-shop, you can reduce the cost of purchasing a plant by incorporating steps that can be done by hand, such as molding, into the process.

The price of equipment for the production of biscuits, unfortunately, is quite high. For example, an automatic line with an average productivity without delivery, installation, adjustment and operating costs will be about half a million rubles.

Production technology

The entire technological process can be divided into two parts - the preparatory stage and the main one. Whatever varieties of cookies you produce, you will have to go through the following processes:

To make the test you will need:

flour;
fats;
eggs;
sugar;
melange;
egg powder;
flavors;
baking powder.

Depending on the type of baking, you may also need nuts, raisins, jams, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, condensed milk, dried fruits. The presence of certain components is usually determined by the technologist.

The process of preparing this product can be described as follows:

After preliminary weighing, all the ingredients are added to the kneader one by one. The procedure takes about 15 minutes.
After that, egg powder and water are added, the kneading lasts another 10 minutes.
Next, flour, syrup, starch are put into the machine, and all this is thoroughly mixed for another 5 minutes.
The prepared dough is divided into parts, rolled into layers. With the help of rotary machines or special shapes, shapes of future cookies are cut out.
Then the baking and cooling process takes place.
After that, you can apply glaze, make layers, decorate.
The final step is packaging.

Cookie production technology varies depending on the recipe and the equipment used.

Expenses

So, in order to start such production, you will need to invest in:

fully equipped workshop;
delivery of finished products;
purchase of raw materials;
additional expenses;
rental and refurbishment.

Given the size of the investment, we can say that the payback of the enterprise will take at least 3-4 years with an average productivity and normal profitability, an acceptable pricing policy. We must not forget about the wages of your team, which, by the way, should consist of confectioners, a technologist, a storekeeper, loaders, and a sales manager.

Another item of expenditure will be utility payments and the cost of transporting products.

We are looking for a buyer

It is necessary to think over the distribution channels for your products even at the stage of enterprise planning. It should be noted right away that the market for selling your cookies will be limited to your region, since the low cost of production will not allow you to recoup the costs of transportation to remote cities.

The main way to sell manufactured goods is small retail stores, supermarkets. At the same time, it is better to start with the first ones, since in large markets you often have to reduce the cost in order to get on their shelves.

The main thing is to be flexible in a rapidly changing market and remember that buyers value quality above all.

How to open a cookie production: Video

Russian citizens, thinking about what to buy for tea, in most cases opt for cookies. In any store there is a fairly wide selection of cookies for every taste - from the simplest biscuits to the bizarre form of kurabye with jam. Small and large packages of crunchy treats can be seen on the shelves at the checkout, in the bakery, snacks, desserts and even in the gifts department. People put cookies on their shopping list ahead of time or buy them spontaneously on their way to the checkout. It would seem that the production of cookies will be a profitable investment, but before drawing conclusions, you should make calculations and draw up a business plan.

Biscuit production as a business

Since the production of biscuits is related to the manufacture of food products, starting such a business cannot be called easy. Recipes, production workshop, equipment, medical examinations of workers - everything will be carefully checked by regulatory authorities - Rospotrebnadzor and the fire inspectorate.

It may take several months from the moment a decision is made to organize the production of cookies and until the date of the actual start of its preparation and sale - it will be necessary to collect an impressive set of documents, issue permits, register a business, notify the supervisory authorities about the start of activities and wait for the workshop to be checked for compliance with the norms established by law.

home production

On the Internet, you can find many business ideas that offer the organization of the production of cookies and jams at home. However, no matter how tempting it may sound, such a business would be illegal. Even if you are sure that there will be no complaints to higher authorities, that you have the cleanest kitchen and that you are able to comply with all sanitary standards, you cannot sell food prepared in a private kitchen.

There is an opinion that it is possible to issue a quality certificate or a certificate of conformity, after which the regulatory authorities will not be able to make claims against you. But this is not so - the production facility must comply with sanitary rules and the requirements of the law, and to check it, it is necessary to invite employees of Rospotrebnadzor and the fire inspectorate. But by law, a workshop or store cannot be located in a residential building, except in rare cases that are not related to food production.

No matter how clean your kitchen is, food production in a residential area is prohibited.

The only thing that can be done in this situation is to create a blog or a page on social networks and sell your products there, warning buyers that your “company” has not been subjected to any checks, you have not done tests in specialized laboratories and have never paid taxes. Many earn good money in this way, but, of course, this cannot be considered a full-fledged business, and the profit here will be very small. But the costs will be minimal - you can bake cookies to order on a prepaid basis with the help of the appliances and fixtures that you have in your kitchen.

Workshop organization

Equipping a biscuit production workshop, despite its seeming simplicity, requires a lot of money for rent and equipment, studying sanitary standards, inviting supervisory services and waiting for the approval of recipes and production technologies.

Responsibly approach the choice of a supplier - require quality certificates. Before organizing a stockpile and buying auxiliary equipment, study the requirements of SNiP and SanPiN - this will help you not to conflict with supervisory authorities and not to redo once established production.

If possible, repair the future workshop - complex or cosmetic (depending on the condition of the room). Check in advance that the number of rooms is sufficient for zoning the workshop into a production room, warehouse, and technical rooms. Separation of zones by partitions is unacceptable.

Features of a cookie making business

The production of biscuits is deservedly considered a promising direction - this is evidenced by all the studies of statisticians. According to their data, one in two shoppers buys at least one package of cookies every time they go grocery shopping. Unlike cakes, pastries and other creamy products, cookies have a long shelf life, which means that business losses will not be as large. Also, this type of production has no seasonality, which means that demand will remain stable throughout the year.

The main disadvantage of the biscuit business is the high level of competition, but there is something to use here to organize a successful business - industry leaders continue to use outdated equipment models and product recipes that bother the consumer, while a beginner has a chance to equip a modern production line and think of new options for favorite all kinds of cookies.

Biscuit business plan

The advantage of a biscuit business is that even a start-up small firm can succeed despite being adjacent to the confectionery giants in the market. The main thing is a competent thoughtful approach to business, which becomes possible only after the development of a business plan.

Before taking any action, draw up a detailed business plan for production - this will save you from unnecessary costs

Pay special attention to studying the consumer - find out how many pensioners, students, couples with children are in your city (usually there is at least some statistical information on the official websites of the Administrations of territorial entities), because everyone has different tastes and financial capabilities.

Before you start entering into agreements with stores and selling cookies, make your business legal - register your activity and register as a taxpayer. At the time of contacting the tax authorities, you must resolve the following issues:

what assortment of cookies will you produce;

what production technology will be used;

will your workshop work only day or night, or will employees work in shifts around the clock;

what will be your plan for development and struggle with competitors;

Who will you be selling cookies to?

Finally, at the time of paperwork and start of production, you must:

choose and rent (or buy) production premises;

purchase equipment that meets the requirements of technological production and sanitary rules;

hire enough workers.

Do not neglect any of the above questions - the fate of the business and the rate of return on investment will depend on the decision you make.

Statistical data of the Russian biscuit market

Every year, large industries and small firms produce more than 900 tons of biscuits on the Russian market. At the same time, the demand for this product is steadily growing by 5–7% annually - such dynamics is considered to be quite restrained, but it is worth noting the stability of the growth in consumption of the product. The highest rates are observed in large cities - the larger the settlement, the more and more often its residents buy cookies.

In Russia, the demand for cookies is increasing every year

According to statisticians, each Russian eats on average 4.5 kg of cookies per year, and residents of all of Russia annually consume more than 650 tons of the product.

As for the preferences of the Russian buyer, he remains conservative in this - the current demand structure is not much different from Soviet times.

According to research by Workline Group, oatmeal (occupied market volume - 18.6%) and sugar (18.3% of sales) biscuits are most often purchased. Crackers, kurabye with jam and dry biscuits like "Maria" are also recognized as popular.

Business registration and required documents

It is mandatory to register a business, especially when it comes to food production - if it is discovered that you are engaged in the manufacture and sale of cookies without the appropriate permits, you will not only pay a fine, but may also be subject to criminal liability. This happens to those whose products have contributed to the occurrence of food poisoning and intestinal infections in the consumer.

You can choose one of two organizational and legal forms of running your own business - an individual entrepreneurship or a legal entity. You can choose any type of commercial legal entity, but the most popular for such a business has been and remains a limited liability company.

Despite the fact that opening an IP is considered to be an easier way to organize a business compared to an LLC and is characterized by lower tax rates, simplified paperwork, smaller fines, low registration costs and no need to hire a full-time accountant, it is the LLC that is more suitable for the production of cookies.

To open a shop for the production of cookies, it is preferable to register a legal entity

The fact is that large retail chains, hypermarkets, confectioneries and restaurants prefer to conclude contracts with legal entities, since they bear more responsibility to regulatory authorities, are more reliable partners, and, finally, in cooperation with LLC, companies can receive VAT tax deductions while working with individual entrepreneurs carries a certain risk.

Having spent a lot on renting a workshop, purchasing equipment and obtaining permits, do not save on registering a business - despite the complexity of organizing a company in the form of a legal entity, you will receive a lot of advantages and be able to attract more customers.

As for the documents necessary for the functioning of the business, the list of them is quite wide - at the same time, all papers must be located on the territory of the enterprise in case of an unexpected inspection by regulatory authorities. First of all, inspectors will pay attention to the presence of the following documents:

constituent papers (if you have registered an LLC);

OGRN certificates;

certificates of assignment of an individual taxpayer number (TIN);

permission to carry out activities from Rospotrebnadzor;

sanitary and epidemiological conclusion;

lease agreements (or certificates of ownership) of the premises;

fire service permits;

production control programs;

personal medical books of employees;

contracts for garbage collection (a separate contract for the disposal of fluorescent lamps is concluded);

contracts for disinfection, disinfestation, deratization of the workshop and ventilation system;

agreements with the laundry about the washing of staff uniforms.

Many large companies that are ready to become your partner may require you to conduct laboratory tests and issue quality certificates for each type of product.

Room selection

It would seem that the search for premises for production will not take much time - you just need to look at the advertisements for the lease of the workshop of the required area. However, everything is not so simple, since cookies are a food product, strict requirements are imposed on compliance with sanitary standards. The production process, the workshop itself, maintaining cleanliness in it (disinfection, deratization, disinfestation), equipment and other points will be controlled by Rospotrebnadzor, authorized to close an enterprise that does not comply with all requirements.

For a small workshop for the production of cookies, it will be enough to rent a room with an area of 150 sq.m., but the launch of a powerful production line will require the business owner to organize a workshop with an area of 250 sq.m.

The workshop premises must meet the following requirements:

all communications (electricity, sewerage, water supply, heating) must be connected;

a fire alarm must be connected, a fire extinguisher must be available, all fire safety rules must be observed (wait for the workshop to be checked by the fire inspectorate);

an appropriate repair must be carried out (you can find out about the rules for its organization and about building materials acceptable for use in the sanitary and epidemiological supervision);

the workshop area is selected based on the need to install all purchased equipment, allocate separate rooms for washing equipment, storing ingredients, organizing a warehouse, storing cleaning equipment, amenity premises, management office, shower room and bathrooms (space zoning is a prerequisite for food production).

The biscuit production workshop requires large premises

Check that the ceiling height is at least 3.5 meters and that there are convenient access roads for loading raw materials into the workshop. The best option would be to rent a room that has already been used for food production. You can even try to rent a workshop with some of the necessary equipment.

Recruitment

Before you engage in posting vacancies on the Internet and local newspapers, decide how employees will work - in one or two shifts (around the clock). It is recommended to start with a small production turnover so that the surplus products do not have to be disposed of. For uninterrupted work within one shift, you will need to hire:

shift supervisor,

six bakers-confectioners,

cleaning lady

storekeeper

driver,

loader (or two auxiliary workers).

Also on a permanent basis should be hired:

production technologist,

secretary for receiving applications,

sales manager for finished products.

Employees need days off, they can get sick or quit, and therefore multiply the number of employees by two - they will replace each other and work 2 days after 2.

Do not save on employees - there should always be people ready to replace a sick or quit employee

If you are registering an LLC, you will also need a full-time accountant. If you have opted for an individual enterprise, you can use the services of an accountant as part of outsourcing.

Remember that food production obliges all employees, without exception, to undergo regular medical examinations, the completion of which will be recorded in personal medical books. The head is responsible for this to the regulatory authorities, which means you will have to conclude an agreement with the center of medical commissions or control the passage of examinations on an individual basis.

Assortment compilation

Before deciding on a product range, it is necessary to conduct marketing research. Studying demand is extremely important as it varies by region. It is not so much the wide variety of biscuits that is important, but the balance of the range, based on the requirements of the consumer, because if one biscuit is sold instantly, and the other is on the shelves before the expiration date, financial losses will cover the profit. But you should not be limited to one type of product either.

There are many types of cookies, because by changing the composition of the ingredients and manufacturing technology, you can get a dough that is diverse in its properties. Depending on the test, cookies can be classified into the following types:

biscuit,

sand,

sugar,

biscuit,

lingering (dry),

curd,

whipped,

puff,

oatmeal.

When you decide on the types of cookies, think about the shape of the products, size, decorative finishes, additives, fillings.

Undoubtedly, many surveys and experiments have been conducted, but it is not enough to check the data and start producing the most sought-after cookies - experienced large enterprises have long been engaged in this, having won the status of a leader in this field, and rivalry with them at the initial stage will destroy the business.

Be original - and buyers will definitely notice your cookies on store shelves

Your best bet is to find an empty niche, stand out from the competition, develop a unique product, and make a name for it. When the goal is achieved, people will pay attention to your other products and, perhaps, give it preference.

Today in Russia there are not so many manufacturers of vitamin-enriched cookies, an environmentally friendly product and low-calorie fitness cookies, but the demand for these types of products will be observed in cities with a young population, where girls follow their figure and proper nutrition, and mothers tend to buy healthy breakfasts for their children. Therefore, the idea is not suitable, for example, for small villages, from which young people have moved to megacities.

Remember, it is not necessary to follow the example of large companies, on the contrary, you can produce cookies that are not currently available in the city. And you can go the proven way, releasing popular types of cookies, but at the same time present it in a new interpretation - change the shape, add the original filling, make a convenient small package for a snack and a large economical one - for a tea party for the whole family.

Choice of production technology

Naturally, the technology for the production of cookies will depend on what kind of cookies you are going to produce. But the stages of production in any case will be similar. It is best to develop the recipe together with a qualified technologist, since the production of cookies is different from home baking - it is important to strictly follow all stages of work, the sequence of actions and the amount of ingredients. If there is a failure, the customer will buy one cookie the first time, and the next time they will not receive the product they expected to purchase. In addition, hiring a technologist will speed up the approval of production by Rospotrebnadzor.

The production technology will depend on what types of cookies you decide to produce.

Raw materials should also be purchased after the assortment has been finally approved. Cookie dough is made from premium or first grade flour, fats, sugar, melange, egg powder, baking powder, starch. You can add flavors, food coloring, and other additives. Raisins, nuts, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried apricots can also be added to the dough. Jams, marmalade, condensed milk, coconut flakes, colored sugar, cinnamon, marzipans are suitable as fillings and for decorating products.

The preparation of cookies can be divided into the following stages:

Sifting flour to saturate it with oxygen and remove lumps.

Weighing the ingredients according to the recipe, placing them in the right sequence in the dough mixer. Kneading for a certain period of time.

Adding melange, water, egg powder and other ingredients in accordance with the recipe. Knead until smooth.

Adding flour, starch, baking powder, syrup, flavors, dyes (according to the recipe).

Forming the dough, dividing it into parts by weight, rolling out layers of the same thickness. Cutting individual products using rotary molding machines.

Baking products in ovens.

Cooling of prepared portions.

Applying glaze, creating designs, sprinkling with decorations, layering (if provided).

Packaging (in batches, by portions, by weight) and packaging (on substrates, in bags, in baskets, in boxes, in metal cans).

Market analysis and development of a competitive strategy

The Russian market for the manufacture of such a confectionery product as cookies is characterized by an annual stable growth in demand and an increase in sales - in the last couple of years alone, the consumption of cookies has grown by 15%.

Competition among domestic biscuit producers is considered average, and local companies play a decisive role in the market, since the transportation of finished products to other cities will be unjustified due to the short shelf life of most varieties of biscuits. In addition, shipping costs money, and the costs end up adding to the cost of the biscuits, making them too expensive compared to a locally produced product.

It is unprofitable to transport cookies to other cities

When making the final decision to open a biscuit production or to abandon this venture, pay attention to the competition in the region. If the city in which you are going to produce products is small, and there are at least three companies offering cookies for sale, it is worth considering another business.

Finding ways to sell finished products

Proven sales channels include:

grocery outlets (preferably network ones - federal and regional levels);

wholesale companies engaged in the resale of products to retail outlets;

implementation in the field of HoReCa - supply for restaurants and cafes.

The best option is to open your own outlet with the prospect of further expanding into a network of mini-confectioneries, however, organizing a store requires enormous costs, and therefore it is hardly accessible to beginners. However, over time, you can think about such a sales option.

The best way to sell cookies is to open your own outlet

It is also necessary to decide on the ways of selling cookies in advance - the volume of production, assortment, and packaging depend on this. You can offer a different range of products to different customers depending on their needs.

A good advertisement is the organization of retail sales at wholesale prices directly from the workshop premises - few people would refuse the freshest cookies without the store's extra charge. However, remember that outsiders are prohibited from entering the production room by sanitary rules - the issuance of cookies must be done in a separate room or “through the window”.

If you decide to make cookies at home, you can sell your product only in specialized places for trade, such as markets, fairs and exhibitions. Street vending at folding tables, at bus stops, or by hand is prohibited. Opening an online store will require business registration, paperwork and the purchase of a specialized online cash desk, so it is not advisable to create it in order to sell home-made products.

Necessary equipment and materials

An important problem of the industry is the use of obsolete equipment installed at enterprises since Soviet times in the production of biscuits.

The purchase of modern equipment will reduce production costs and reduce the price of cookies

Therefore, significant progress can be achieved through the purchase and use of modern equipment in the production process. The business owner will benefit from superior product quality, high product manufacturing speed, and the ability to hire fewer workers by automating production, while cost savings will enable competitive cookie pricing.

The set of equipment depends on which stages of production will be carried out manually, and which - with the help of specialized devices for food production. It is worth noting that the maximum automation of production will turn out to be more profitable in the end, since manual labor requires hiring a large staff, paying overtime hours and resolving issues with staff turnover. The initial investment in equipment will pay off many times over.

The minimum set of equipment includes:

flour sifter (about 35,000 rubles);

dough mixer (about 65,000 rubles);

dough machine (about 100,000 rubles);

dough divider (from 300,000 rubles);

dough sheeter (about 75,000 rubles);

conveyor (from 250,000 rubles);

rotary / convection oven (about 600,000 rubles);

refrigeration equipment (about 40,000 rubles);

desktop scales (about 10,000 rubles);

floor scales (about 30,000 rubles);

packing scales (about 15,000 rubles);

packaging machines (about 10,000 rubles).

In addition, it will be necessary to buy washing tubs, racks, shelves, washing equipment, lockers for workers' belongings, chairs, production tables and small culinary utensils, such as knives and gastronorm containers.

If you plan to produce cookies covered with chocolate, you will need an icing line, and devices are also commercially available for applying a certain dose of filling to the base of a double cookie. Whatever equipment you decide to purchase, it is advisable to immediately invest in Italian or German-made devices. Domestic and Chinese stoves and machines will not last so long and will require regular repairs.

At the initial stage, it is recommended to purchase a production line that is not too powerful in case the business does not pay off or if it is not possible to find enough customers. In the future, if production is established, contracts for the supply of products will be concluded, and there will not be enough production capacity to fulfill all orders, we can think about development and new investments in more powerful equipment.

Financial plan for the production of biscuits

Below is an example of a financial plan for a biscuit production workshop. Remember that it is only a guideline for making your own analysis, which will depend on the region where your enterprise is located, the taxation system you have chosen, the cost of raw materials from the supplier, the types of cookies baked, the choice of equipment seller, the cost of renting a room, and so on.

First of all, it is necessary to calculate the volume of initial investments in starting a business. Perhaps already at this stage you will understand that you are not able to invest such an amount of money. When calculating the salary fund, rely on the average wages in the region where your company is located.

Table: average salaries of employees of the biscuit production workshop

Table: Initial Costs of Starting a Biscuit Making Business

Table: Monthly Costs of Maintaining a Biscuit Shop

Profitability calculation

The medium capacity biscuit production line is capable of producing 1.5 tons of products in one shift, which gives 45 tons of product per month. According to statisticians, 1 ton of cookies is sold by domestic producers for an average of 40,000 rubles. This means that the revenue for one month of work will be 1,800,000 rubles.

Table: Key Financial Indicators of the Biscuit Business

Suppose an entrepreneur pays taxes under the USNO system (6% rate). If you do not take into account the possibility of tax deductions, the business owner will transfer 23,658 rubles per month to the tax service (6% of the amount of profit). Then the net profit will be 370,642 rubles.

Biscuit production is a profitable business

It turns out that in the best case, the initial investment will pay off in 9 months, but in practice the terms are longer due to the need to find regular customers, unforeseen situations and the need to give customers time to notice a new product. Also, the level of profitability directly depends on the amount of initial equipment costs - the more money is invested, the longer the costs will be reimbursed by transferring them to the cost of finished products.

As the results of calculations show, the biscuit production business is profitable and pays off in a fairly short time. The main problem is the search for a direction of activity that would make the enterprise competitive - only quality, taste, attractive packaging and the unique look of finished products can help the owner of such a business win the love of consumers and a place in the market among many similar large and small firms. If the entrepreneur manages to cope with this task, his products will occupy the shelves of more than one store and will increasingly appear on the tables of Russian families.
