Buying Used Bakery Equipment
Startup costs can be excruciatingly high for the commercial baker, and buying new commercial bakery equipment can be out of the question for those dealing with limited finances and as well as a whole other array of business costs. The solution for many is to turn to buying used bakery equipment.
While most people would prefer to get new equipment, used machines such as ovens, various mixers, etc. are usually very sound purchases for the fledgling bakery. It is very common for new businesses to fail, and the equipment that they are forced to sell then becomes much more affordable for a person just starting out. Such equipment might have seen little use and is often 'like new'. The key to buying something that serves your needs for a price that will make you happy is research. Know well the equipment you absolutely can't do without and what size of oven, etc. you will need. Take into account the possibility that your business will expand soon after opening in your purchase. This usually means buying something larger than what you need for immediate needs, if you have any plans for expansion at all. Otherwise, you will probably end up spending much more later on to replace equipment you've outgrown.
You can find used bakery equipment in business classified where sellers will list equipment that they no longer need or are forced to sell. Another good source of bargains is to search for bakery equipment auctions. Research the equipment being auctioned beforehand- there's no sense in bidding on something you known nothing about.
Finally, buy from a company or supplier who offers good customer service in terms of dealing with equipment breakdowns and other problems. Buying cheap equipment could very well leave you in a lurch if anything goes wrong, with no one to turn to in the event something breaks and a part needs to be replaced.
