My only regret is I didn't find this facility many years ago and follow my introvert dream of being a minority woman business owner following my passion for baking, networking and serving the public. My advice to anyone considering starting a business is go for it, if you put in the work you will succeed!
The CIFT team, part of the Ohio MEP and the MEP National Network™, advised 7th Heaven Creations Bakery to become an LLC. CIFT then guided the company through all of the paperwork and got the company certified. 7th Heaven Creations Bakery was operating in the general kitchen by September 2020.
None of this would have been possible without the CIFT/NOCK resource located in Bowling Green, Ohio. The company has had record sales every year since starting at the commercial kitchen. Stephanie is looking forward to growing the company, and mentoring young and new entrepreneurs, while continuing to gain knowledge with the help and guidance of CIFT/NOCK.
