You must do research on the need for a bakery in your chosen area, and what competition you face in that area. "Wanting to start a bakery" is the wrong starting point. Open a retail business of any kind in an area where there is no clear market gap for your product will lead to failure. Many more small retail outlets fail than succeed, because their "good idea" had no market in the area, or far stronger competitors. I suggest, if you want to open a retail business, focus on the gaps in your local market, rather than fixate on a specific product type. Good luck.
