Bakery Finance Boot Camp 2026

About This Program

Running your food business is already a full-time job. Managing financial administration and strategy, while critically important, can often end up on the backburner, especially if you don't have anyone to guide you. We’re here to change that! 

In partnership with King Arthur Baking, Prepshift is now accepting applications for Bakery Finance Boot Camp, to be held January-March 2026.

BFBC participants will receive

• A Prepshift Diagnostic Assessment and report

• 4 virtual finance workshops with a cohort of peers

• 8 hours of individual business coaching

As experienced foodservice workers, managers, and business owners, we've designed this program to support entrepreneurs to take control of their finances and build sustainable businesses that align with their values and goals. Join our Info Session on October 29 at 2PM EST for more information! If you can’t attend the session, please register and we’ll send you a recording.
