Description
This module focuses on building the correct foundation for your home based food business before you begin selling, marketing or expanding. Before recipes, branding or growth, you first need clarity around the legal setup, registrations and responsibilities required to run your business properly and confidently.
We also highlight something many people overlook: your business plan is not static. It evolves with you, and as your business grows, your plan grows with it, helping you stay aligned with your vision and purpose. This module matters because, without a plan, you are guessing. With a plan, you are building with intention.
